Double Issue no. 3–4 is “packed” with very important contributions to the field, assembling one FAST TRACK article and 17 solid and original research articles distributed over 6 distinct parts. The FAST TRACK article advances a fully integrated PDMS/SU‐8/quartz microfluidic chip with a novel macroporous PDMS membrane for isoelectric focusing of proeins using whole‐channel imaging detection. Part I is on metabolomic profiling of human plasma in pancreatic cancer, plant proteomics and proteomic approaches in myeloid leukemia. Part II is concerned with nucleic acid studies involving thalassemia, multiplex PCRs, ancient DNA, SNP genotyping, forensic genetics, human identification, SBE, and PCR amplification. Part III is on CEC and MEEKC separation media for chiral separation and natural products, respectively. Part IV is focused on various aspects of microfluidics and microchip based systems for DNA recombination, selection and extraction as well as for cell culture, tablet formulations, and urine analysis among other things. Part V describes buffer systems to suppress SDS adsorption to polyethylene oxide for protein separation by GCE and evaluates CZE in cell activity analysis using specific cell staining. Finally, Part VI is on the use of combined micro‐electrodialysis and CE for the analysis on inorganic cations in biological samples and on the coupling of on line CE‐ESI‐MS for the determination of stimulants and narcotics as well as their metabolites.
