The ethical concerns of bioanalytical chemistry: the case of forensic science

Due to its pragmatic nature, bioanalytical science, a sub-discipline of analytical chemistry, is increasingly becoming a central point to address the practical needs of modern community life.

description	Due to its pragmatic nature, bioanalytical science, a sub-discipline of analytical chemistry, is increasingly becoming a central point to address the practical needs of modern community life. It seems to be very promising and potential to play a major role in many sectors of industrial, environmental and medical applications. It nevertheless, encompasses various forms of analytical chemistry, such as: (i) bioanalysis for medical and clinical purposes, especially in the pharmaceutical industry; (ii) quality assurance purposes in food industry and products; (iii) bioanalysis for environmental and ecosystem; and (iv) bioanalysis for forensic purposes.
