Welcome to the June issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter!
This issue of the Speciation Newsletter comes a few days late. The reason is simple. By taking part in the Nordic Plasma Conference and other duties the time for finding topics for the Newsletter was very limited. That brings me to a point, I would like to discuss:
While many scientists have to cope with an increasing number of conferences, symposia and workshops, the number of meetings devoted to speciation analysis is very limited. Some conferences related to techniques (like the Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry) have big sessions related to speciation analysis, however such techniques are only part of the toolbox of scientists working in this field. The question then is whether there is room for a conference related to speciation analysis that brings together scientists working with different tools.
The TraceSpec Workshop on Progress in Trace Metal Speciation for Environmental Analytical Chemistry is trying to provide such forum. Unfortunately it is limiting itself to the topic of "Environmental Analytical Chemistry" while many speciation analysts have moved towards life science. That has resulted in lack of dynamics for the TraceSpec Workshop during the last events.
The question than is whether there is a need for a special meeting devoted to speciation analysis. We would like to hear your opinion ! Please send us your thoughts (via contact EVISA).
By the way, registration for this year TraceSpec Workshop is still open !

Agilent is introducing the second generation of Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS system: The 8900
Agilent is showcasing the new solutions at the annual meeting of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, June 5-9, in San Antonio, Texas. The highlight of the new releases is the Agilent 8900 Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS system. The controlled-reaction chemistry of this inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry system delivers the lowest detection limits for previously difficult elements, such as sulfur, silicon and phosphorus. It also includes a fast detector that sets a new benchmark for single nanoparticle applications.
