Welcome to the February issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
Speciation analysis is often done by the hyphenation of high-performance liquid chromatography with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. While this coupled technique combines high selectivity with high sensitivity, it also is using very complex and costly instruments and provides only limited sample throughput, making analysis expensive. In case that either the high selectivity or the high sensitivity is not necessary to provide the requested information, less complex techniques with reduced analysis costs can be envisaged.
This month we present two speciation methods using such alternative approaches. A group of researchers from Italy have developed a method which does not call for high selectivity, since the target is only the binary separation of organic mercury from inorganic mercury. The proposed technique is using a low-pressure column packed with a strong anionic exchanger that can be fed by the conventional peristaltic pump of the ICP-MS system (see the news below).
A group of researchers from South Korea have developed a method for the speciation analysis of vanadium in vanadium-fortified apples. Since the analysis does not call for ultra-trace species determination, the researchers could use inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) instead of the costlier mass spectrometric detection (see the news below).
Unfortunately, some conferences scheduled for March are again cancelled because of the COVID pandemic. We are trying to keep you updated for those conferences related to trace element and speciation analysis.

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.
