The field of analytical chemistry has evolved so that it has a great many applications that not only include chemical analysis in the traditional sense but also uses that can benefit mankind such as point-of-care diagnosis, imaging, and toxin detection. The editorial team of Angewandte Chemie Internatioal Edition features virtual issue with a selection of recent articles in the area of analytical chemistry, on topics ranging from mass spectrometry and NMR to tumor cell detection and analysis of Van Gogh's paintings. The covered topics are:

• (Electrochemical) Biosensors
• Chemical Heritage
• Fluorescent Sensors/Imaging
• Mass Spectrometry/Proteomics
• Microfluidics
• Materials
• NMR
• Point-of-Care Diagnostics
• Single Molecules/Single Cells
• Spectroscopy
