Welcome to the June issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
Last month we mentioned the important information of element distribution maps provided by bioimaging techniques. One of the most often used technique for bioimaging is based on laser ablation as a spatially resolved sampling technique. Last month scientists working with such techniques came together in Münster for the "First Workshop on Laser Bioimaging Mass Spectrometry". The very shortly announced event was with 80 participants nicely accepted. The success of the workshop motivated the organizers to announce the continuation of the event with a second version that was already fixed (see the News below).
We are glad to announce the publication of a special issue of "Trends in Analytical Chemistry" dedicated to speciation analysis. 16 contributions of renowed scientists working in the field of speciation analysis give an overview over recent advances, hot topics and trends in speciation analysis (see the News below).
Chromium is one of those elements, for which the importance of speciation is evident. While chromium is considered essential in its trivalent form, the hexavalent species is classified as genotoxic and carcinogenic. For this reason the presence of this carcinogen cannot be tolerated in food and drinking water. Canada has now finalized a Federal Environmental Quality Guideline (FEQG) for hexavalent chromium (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 information 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.
