American Chemical Society's Award in Analytical Chemistry
Wednesday, March 10, 2021: 8:30 AM - 11:50 AM
Speaker(s)
Description
Professor Mark E. Meyerhoff from the University of Michigan is the 2021 ACS Analytical Chemistry Award winner.
He received his B.A. in Chemistry (1974) at Lehman College (CUNY) and his Ph.D. at SUNY Buffalo (1979). He joined the faculty at the University of Michigan in 1979 and was promoted to full professor in 1990. He is currently the Philip J. Elving Professor of Chemistry.
This symposium celebrates the innovations and creative chemistries developed in the Meyerhoff group to enable selective chemical measurements in complex real-world samples. The theme of selective chemical sensing is highlighted throughout this symposium.

The development of electrochemical (e-chem) and optical sensors for medical applications has been a very active area of research since Clark pioneered sensors for measuring oxygen in blood (1953) and then for glucose in the early 1960s. This presentation will summarize some of the more significant sensor related research efforts...

Electrochemical sensors such as the pH electrode, potassium and fluoride ion-selective electrodes, the glucose biosensor and the Clark oxygen electrode are widely used in biomedical, industrial, and environmental applications. Their success is due in large part to exceptional selectivity. Developing new sensors with the selectivity required to measure important analytes...

In the early nineties the Meyerhoff and Yang groups at the University of Michigan found rather surprisingly that certain ion-selective membrane formulations gave large potentiometric responses to polyionic species in aqueous electrolytes. Key targets were detection of the polyanionic polysaccharide heparin, used as anticoagulant in surgery, and its antidote, the...

Measuring chemical changes in the brain in awake subjects enables identification of signals associated with behavior, pharmacokinetics, and disturbances in disease states. Despite impressive advances in electrochemical and genetically encoded fluorescent sensors for such measurements, microdialysis sampling remains an important technique for these studies because of the high selectivity and...

The noninvasive measurement of glucose in people with diabetes is a long-standing, unrealized goal in analytical chemistry. To be noninvasive, the analytical information must be obtained without breaking skin either to extract a sample of blood or interstitial fluid, or to insert a biosensor into subcutaneous tissue. Spectroscopic sensing is...
