This publication is the seventh in a series of articles containing the results of regular scientometric monitoring of analytical chemistry. The identified cutting-edge areas (fronts) of research are based on highly cited publica­tions, grouped into clusters by frequent cocitation. In 2024, as before, there are many areas of research and development related to sensor devices used in medical diagnostics (COVID 19, etc.), as well as in the analysis of environmental objects and food products. Attention to microplastics, an environmental pollutant, remains high. An extensive scientific field has emerged in which analytical methods are considered according to conditional criteria of colourfulness.
