ICP-SFMS and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) combined with ICP-MS detection have been used to allow rapid, selective and accurate quantification of cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin in human plasma samples. Stephan Hann is grateful to Peter Freudemann for his input with the design of the inside cover.

The study demonstrates a better technique for "nuclear detectives" to obtain the fingerprint of material inside nuclear facilities. The cover illustrates the analysis chain with the particles' isotopic fingerprint analysed by large geometry SIMS, which is shown to be a superior analytical tool (photo editing M. Eriksson).
