儀器科學與技術是一個國際知名的論壇，用于快速出版評論性、同行評審的手稿，涉及化學、物理生物技術和環境科學中的創新儀器設計和應用。特別關注最先進的發展及其與科學界的快速交流。重點是現代儀器的概念，盡管不是唯一的，包括探測器、傳感器、數據采集和處理、儀器控制、色譜法、電化學、所有類型的光譜學、電泳、輻射測量、弛豫方法、熱分析、物理性質測量、表面物理、膜技術，微型計算機設計、基于芯片的過程等。讀者包括所有使用工具技術進行研究和開發的人。他們是實驗室和化學生產環境中上述所有儀器學科的化學家（有機、無機、物理、分析、核、質量控制）、生物化學家、生物技術學家、工程師和物理學家。期刊是儀器設計和應用數據的重要資源。

Instrumentation Science & Technology is an internationally acclaimed forum for fast publication of critical, peer reviewed manuscripts dealing with innovative instrument design and applications in chemistry, physics biotechnology and environmental science. Particular attention is given to state-of-the-art developments and their rapid communication to the scientific community. Emphasis is on modern instrumental concepts, though not exclusively, including detectors, sensors, data acquisition and processing, instrument control, chromatography, electrochemistry, spectroscopy of all types, electrophoresis, radiometry, relaxation methods, thermal analysis, physical property measurements, surface physics, membrane technology, microcomputer design, chip-based processes, and more. Readership includes everyone who uses instrumental techniques to conduct their research and development. They are chemists (organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, nuclear, quality control) biochemists, biotechnologists, engineers, and physicists in all of the instrumental disciplines mentioned above, in both the laboratory and chemical production environments. The journal is an important resource of instrument design and applications data.
