Analytical Chemistry: beyond on its own borders
Write about the importance of Analytical Chemistry for Analytical Chemists is somewhat redundant, once the community involved in this field is concious about its importance and benefits (i.e. social, educational, industrial development, and others).
Once the bases for the growing of Analytical Chemistry are well established all over the world, including, of course, Brazil, the analytical community needs to figure out a way in "increasing the sensitivity" of the perception that Analytical Chemistry is extremely important to others areas. This is not an easy task, but we need to "optimize" our partnership with industries and also with areas such as toxicological, medical, nutritional, biochemical, environmental, forensic, among others, avoiding the concept of compartimentalization of the science if we want to establish fruitfull connections with different fields of knowledge.
We have the opportunity not only to make Analytical Chemistry a bridge between researchers of different backgrounds, but also "expand" even more the knowledge. Some examples can be pointed out such as M. Tswett (botanist, considered the chromatography´s father), S. P. D. Sørensen (enzimologist that coined the term pH) or L. C. Clark Jr (chemist, considered the biosensor´s father), which contributed, since long time ago, for transdisciplinary work.
Thus, all the analytical community is invited to highlight the importance of Analytical Chemistry in different fields of applications. In this sence, BrJAC is contributing to show the presence of Analytical Chemistry beyond on its own borders, as demonstrated through different contributions published in this Issue.
