Welcome to the March issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is one of the most often used detection system for elemental speciation analysis. Since the ICP destroys all molecular information within the hot plasma (6000 K), the ICP-MS itself can only provide elemental information. In order to gain species information, the ICP-MS has to be coupled with a separation method that can separate different elemental species before reaching the detector. Different separation techniques have been used for such speciation analysis, including gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), capillary electrophoresis (CE) or even non-chromatographic separation methods such as solid phase extraction (SPE) or liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) to name only some. The working groups using such techniques however often share their capacity for doing speciation analysis with other tasks using the ICP-MS detection system such as elemental imaging analysis by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) or single-cell (SC-ICP-MS) or single particle analysis by ICP-MS (sp-ICP-MS). Such diversification of the techniques using the ICP-MS detection system is somewhat reducing the dynamics of the development of hyphenated speciation analysis.
To answer complex questions, a single analytical technique may not provide sufficient information and therefore combined efforts may be necessary. A group of researchers from Germany and France have now combined methods of speciation analysis and elemental bioimaging to obtain information about the gadolinium species retained in kidneys of rats following the administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents (see the news below).
Event organizers for events scheduled in April and May are confident that their events can be operated as on-side events. Let's cross our thumbs that the COVID situation will allow the participants to join in person.
