Dear Subscriber !
Welcome to the May issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter
Speciation analysis calls for very selective and sensitive techniques in order to differentiate between element species and to detect and quantify the fraction of the trace element being present as a special species. Most often such requirements can only be satisfied by hyphenating a very sensitive detection system (such as ICP-MS) with a very selective separation techniques such as HPLC. While ICP-MS is without doubt the most often used detection system nowadays, other techniques can often be used depending on the species of interest and the type of sample matrix to be analyzed. We will here continue our collection of short summaries discussing such techniques (see Tools for Speciation Analysis). Atomic Spectrometry in general provides high selectivity for elements and Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry in particular achirves very good detection power. This makes it a suitable detection technique for hyphenated techniques with HPLC and GC as separation modules (see below).

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.
Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry as a Detection System for Speciation Analysis
Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (AFS) represents a suitable alternative to the other atomic and mass spectrometric techniques. Since atomic fluorescence can be quenched by many molecules, an effective separation of the analyted from the matrix and/or a very efficient atomization is required. By using the argon-hydrogen diffusion flame (only a moderately hot atomizer) the AFS technique is an ideal detection technique for speciation studies concerning hydride forming elements (mainly As, Se and Sb) and Hg.
