Analytical Chemistry Methods and Protocols: From Standard Practices to New Sustainable Approaches
This special issue belongs to the section “Biochemical and Chemical Analysis & Synthesis“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topical Collection aims to explore the evolving landscape of analytical chemistry, focusing on the methodologies and protocols that bridge traditional practices with innovative, sustainable approaches. As the field of analytical chemistry continues to advance, there is a growing need to refine existing techniques and develop new methods that not only enhance accuracy and efficiency but also align with the principles of sustainability.
The scope of this issue encompasses a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the development of novel analytical techniques, optimization of existing protocols, the integration of green chemistry principles, and the application of cutting-edge technologies such as microfluidics, nanotechnology, and computational methods in analytical chemistry. Contributions that address the challenges of environmental impact, resource efficiency, and waste reduction in analytical practices are particularly encouraged.
By bringing together research that spans both fundamental and applied aspects of analytical chemistry, this topical collection aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions of the field, offering valuable insights for both academic researchers and industry professionals.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Methods and Protocols is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
