This is the second of the on-going series of chemistry seminars to be jointly organised by Japanese and Singaporean chemists, the first of which on Physical Organic Chemistry was held in Tokyo from 29 August to 1 September 1986. Analytical chemistry has always been the bridge linking the three other traditional areas of chemistry. It is also the field of chemistry which has the largest number of practitioners and the history of the practice of analytical chemistry in Singapore, which precedes educational and research activities in any other field of chemistry, can be traced to as far back as 1885. Since the early 1980s the government, in its efforts to upgrade and restructure economic activities, has encouraged the fostering of a strong R&D culture. With increased support from funding agencies, research activities in analytical chemistry have expanded tremendously during the past decade. It is therefore appropriate and significant that the second seminar of this series, and the first to be held here, should focus on the analytical field. It serves as a timely boost for our analytical chemists from NUS and other organisations to interact and learn from our Japanese counterparts. Such seminars which allow more chemists from our two countries to interact and which could lead to more collaborative work are most welcome and are to be encouraged. The organisers are to be congratulated for having arranged a splendid broad spectrum programme to cater for the interest of most participants. The success of holding a Seminar of this nature is due to many. VIII I would like to acknowledge the generous financial support from the JSPS, the LEE Foundation and several instrument companies in Singapore and the hard work put in by all members of the local organising committee as well as Professor Y Umezawa. The publication of the Proceedings of the Seminar is a testimony of their dedication and tireless efforts. ix CONTENTS Monday, 21 March 1988 Amperometric sensors based on biocatalyst electrodes 1 Mitsugi Senda*, Tokuji Ikeda and Toshiyuki Osakai Retention prediction of substituted phenols in reversed-phase HPLC 19 S.F.Y.
