Welcome to the October issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
This month we continue our series on "Tools for speciation analysis" (click here for seeing the index).
This series of brief summaries is meant to give easy access to valuable information related to the techniques and methodology of speciation analysis. Some people argue that speciation analysis is just chemical analysis and therefore does not call for any special discussion. It is true that there is no single special analytical technique for speciation analysis. Instead the analyst performing speciation analysis has to select the appropriate technique and methodology from the toolbox of analytical chemistry. Anyhow, since speciation analysis is often discussing trace element speciation, only the most sensitive and selective analytical techniques come into consideration. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry plays a very prominent role for the methodology of speciation analysis.
Techniques and methods using the ICP-MS but also other plasma sources will be discussed during the European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry that will take place February 22-26, 2015 in Münster, Germany (see EVISA's Agenda of Events). Please join us for this major event in the beginning of next year. On-line abstract submission is open to the end of October !!

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.
Gel electrophoresis combined with laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for speciation analysis
Gel electrophoresis (GE) is the benchmark for high resolution protein separation, particularly in two-dimensional (2-D) format. However the application of GE for the speciation analysis of metallic-species is not straightforward.

Flow-injection inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for speciation analysis
Flow-injection is a technique to perform sample manipulations such as reagent addition, dilution, preconcentration and simple separations with a manifold on-line coupled with the detection system.
