Conclusion and outlook

Despite all the constraints they face, biotechnology products represent a rapidly expanding field for the future. In terms of analysis, this evolution will lead to improvements in the reliability and performance of current methods, and to the development of new ones. The analysis of such products is a task for all the disciplines involved; for their part, the analytical chemists contribute their personal experience and perfect knowledge of their field. His effectiveness is all the greater for his clearer knowledge of the other fields involved.

The Analysis of biological macromolecules section is designed to meet these objectives. As biological data are often unfamiliar to analytical chemists, please refer to the article Biological macromolecule analysis and applications General [P3305]...
