EVISA is keeping you updated with what is going on in speciation analysis. In this section you will find news about the most current research results, about trends, legal issues and informations from manufacturers in the field of speciation analysis. New light on human selenium metabolism The analytical research group at the University of Graz has presented new results of a selenium speciation analysis on human urine from one volunteer over a 48-hour period after ingestion of 1.0 mg of selenium in three different forms in the recent issue of "Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry".  moreUniversity of Münster: Industrial Cooperation on Mercury Speciation The Department of Applied Atomic Spectroscopy / Innovative Analytical Instrumentation at the Institute for Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry of the University of Muenster (Germany) and the German company GERSTEL GmbH & Co.KG, Mülheim have developed a new detection system for elemental speciation by GC-PED. moreTwo new Thio-Arsenosugars found in Scallops As part of an ongoing project investigating arsenic species in food products, the research group from the University of Graz scanned several mollusc samples from the local fish market for thio-arsenosugars using HPLC-ICPMS under conditions optimized for detection of these arsenicals. Two novel thio-arsenosugars were identified in aqueous and methanol extracts from the gonad and the muscle of the great scallop. Due to their unusual chromatographic properties, these compounds are difficult to detect by existing methods. To overcome these difficulties, the research group developed a new method based on HPLC-ESMS. moreSelenomethionine shows promising results as a protective agent against Esophageal Cancer Selenomethionine treatment of certain high-risk patients show promise as protection against the development of esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC), according to a report in the September issue of Gastroenterology. more |

EVISA is supporting the field with educational and training activities meant to improve in the medium- and long-term the knowledge and know-how of users. Well known scientists working in the field are giving the lectures as well as transferring the know-how during the hands-on part of the training courses. For learning about EVISA's current training activities please consult the following list of events that also provides more specific information and details for registration.
Since the number of places in these courses is rather limited, early registration is recommended !
Fundamentals of coupling techniques in speciation analysis
Organic mass spectrometry in speciation analysis
Selenium speciation in foods and food supplements
Speciation analysis and food security

EVISA provides information about open positions for Ph.D. students, PostDocs and permanent staff in the field of speciation. Looking to fill a vacancy or needing a new career challenge? Either way this service is FREE. If you would like to post an open position here, please contact us at info@speciation.net ! Doctorates UFZ Halle-Leipzig: - Analytical Chemistry The Department of Analytical Chemistry cooperates in the field of “chemo dynamics“ and invites applications for a Doctoral Fellow in the field of Miniaturized Techniques in Environmental Analytical Chemistry. Analysis and assessment of anthropogenic impact to environmental relevant compartments are performed by the application of different techniques of analytical chemistry. The introduction of microsampling methods allows the distribution and local analysis of trace elements, metalloids and their species in samples of environmental interest. moreSwiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG) A four year PhD position in Fe isotope geochemistry in aquatic systems is offered at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag). The project is joined with the isotope geochemistry group in ETHZ (Switzerland). The position is available immediately. moreUniversity of Southern Denmark, Odense PhD studentships in dynamic metal speciation analysis are available at the Department of Chemistry, University of Southern Denmark. The projects will involve development of electrochemical approaches to understanding metal speciation in aquatic systems, including the sediment/water interface and biofilm matrices. morePostdoctoral UFZ Leipzig-Halle: Analytical Chemistry The department invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of Analysis of Solid Samples in Environmental Analytical Chemistry. Analysis and assessment of anthropogenic impact to environmental relevant compartments are performed by the application of different techniques of inorganic analytical chemistry. The employment of different analytical techniques allows the determination of trace elements (isotopes), metalloids and their species in solid samples of environmental interest. moreUSGS Mendenhall: Denver, CO Development of stable-metal isotope techniques to determine metal pathways and bioavailability to aquatic organisms. moreOther Research Engineer in Analytical, Isotopic and Environmental Sciences The "Laboratoire de Chimie Analytique Bioinorganique et Environnement" CNRS UMR 5034 at the "Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour" in Pau, (France) has opened the position for an Research Engineer. moreResearch Assistant at Frontier Geoscience Frontier Geoscince is looking for a research assistant with trace metals background. moreFrontier GeoSciences, Inc.: Quality Assurance Officer Frontier GeoSciences, Inc. a progressive environmental research and specialty inorganic analytical lab in Seattle is searching for a Quality Assurance Officer. Frontier's areas of expertise include ultra-trace metals analysis and metal(loid) speciation (primarily for Hg, As, Se, Cr, and Sb). Candidates should be extremely knowledgeable about trace metals analysis and have several years' experience at an inorganic lab. Strongly positioned for growth in 2005, Frontier is looking for a proven, innovative leader to join our team. more |
