2009/7

Dear Subscriber !

Welcome to the July issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter.

There are only two weeks left in this month which is traditionally a holiday month with reduced activities with respect to international meetings before the conference season re-starts in August. There are two important meetings for the speciation community ahead:

The 7th International Symposium on Speciation of Elements in Biological, Environmental and Toxicological Sciences (ISSEBETS/2009 ) taking place in Eger (Hungary) August 28- 30 and

TraceSpec 2009: The 12th Workshop on Progress in Analytical Methodologies for Trace Metal, taking place in Mainz (Germany) September 15-18. While the deadline for submitting presentations is meanwhile gone, you still have a chance to submit late poster contributions.

TraceSpec 2009 will have a broad range of topics related to speciation analysis including environmental, food and health related issues. The former TraceSpec 2007 in Münster attracted scientists from more than 30 countries.

NEWS

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.

With all the links to further information and publications the News archive is a valuable collection of "hot topics" in speciation analysis. We continuously update even former news with new links and information so that all news are actual all the time.


New Study Finds: Thimerosal Induces Autism-like Neurotoxicity
A new study published in the June issue of the peer-reviewed journal of Toxicology & Environmental Chemistry, finds cytotoxic effects of Thimerosal that are similar with pathophysiological findings observed in patients diagnosed with autistic disorders (ADs).

New mass spectrometric method allows fast and comprehensive analyses of metabolites
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena and their colleagues from the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague have developed a new method to quickly and reliably detect metabolites, such as sugars, fatty acids, amino acids and other organic substances from plant or animal tissue samples. One drop of blood -- less than one micro liter -- is sufficient to identify certain blood related metabolites.
