Welcome to the April issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter.
Last month we mentioned that legislation up to now was not an important driving force for performing speciation analysis. The major motivation to do speciation analysis rather than the less complex trace element analysis is the enhanced information value obtained by speciation analysis. The enhanced information value is especially welcomed whenever speciation analysis is part of research.
We now have started to add new chapters to EVISA's Brief summaries related to research areas that greatly benefit from speciation analysis: Earlier we already had created chapters on:

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.
Chemical speciation analysis for nutrition and food science
The enhanced information obtained by chemical speciation analysis is not only a prerequisite for the evalutaion of the nutritional value or the assessment of health risk related to toxic species in foodstuffs, but it is also a useful tool in food characterization.

Chemical speciation analysis for the life sciences
In the area of life sciences, chemical analysis is meant to provide information about the metabolism, function and toxicity of chemical compounds in biological organisms and by this help to study the mechanisms involved.

Trace element speciation analysis for environmental sciences
Chemical analysis for the environment is needed to provide information about the status as well as the processes involved for the emission, cycling, degradation and fate of matter in the environment.
