Dear Subscriber !
Welcome to the October issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter.
Speciation analysis provides a much higher information value than trace element analysis. A growing number of scientists is exploring the capabilities of speciation analysis especially for life sciences. One possible application is the identification of markers for the human health status. Even if a selective marker cannot be identified, meaningful information can be extracted from the species profile by multivariate data analysis. This is the result of a new study exploring the possibility to use species profiling for cancer diagnosis (see the news below).
Mercury is a global pollutant and therefore of great concern. After a series of five sessions of intergovernmental negotiations, a thousand delegates from about 140 nations adopted the Minamata Convention last week in Kumamoto at an international conference organized by the U.N. Environment Program. This pact, which will take effect 90 days after ratification by 50 nations, tries to limit the mercury pollution by regulating its use and trade (see the News below).

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.
Speciation analysis for cancer diagnosis
Some research groups demonstrate that the enhanced information value provided by speciation analysis can be used as a tool for cancer diagnosis.
