Welcome to the May issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !

This month we continue our series on "tools and methods for speciation analysis". One of the most often used detection system for speciation analysis is the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS).  While the ICP-MS is a system for multielement analysis, this capability is seldom used in speciation analysis.  In our brief summary we discuss the pros and cons of multielement speciation analysis and list the applications reported so far (see the news below).

One of the research fields that would benefit from multielement speciation analysis is the field of "metallomics". Researchers working in metallomics will gather August 14-17 for the 6th International Symposium on Metallomics in Vienna. Early registration is still available until May 25.

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.




Multielement speciation analysis
Typical speciation analysis seldom involves multielement analysis, simply because the focus of interest is often on the speciation of a single target element. However, the multielement capabilities of ICP-MS on one site, and the economic pressure to reduce costs, waste and time needed for the analysis, is the driving force to develop methods for multielemental speciation analysis.

EVENTS
With a list of about 50 current entries EVISA is informing you about interesting events and keeps you updated with their deadlines. By consulting our list of deadlines you won't miss the opportunity for early registration at reduced fee or the chance to submit your contribution in time.
