Dear Subscriber !
Welcome to the August issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter
We often hear the argument that speciation analysis is complex and too costly. The question is, whether the enhanced information value provided by speciation analysis is needed. If needed, the enhanced information might well be worth the additional efforts for speciation analysis. The investigation of metallodrugs, their activity, metabolism and side effects is an area that without doubt benefits from the additional information provided by speciation analysis (see the News below). With our brief summary on metallodrugs we start a new series of information pages related to topics in speciation analysis.
For most of you, holidays are now over and important events are ahead (see the agenda of events).

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.
Brief summary: Speciation analysis for the study of metallo-drugs and their biomolecular interactions
Speciation analysis plays an important role for studying the biological activity, metabolism and side-effects of metal-based pharmaceuticals. It is expected that the enhanced information level provided will also help to guide future drug design.
