Welcome to the October issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
The European Virtual Institute for Speciation Analysis (EVISA) is servicing the community now for more than 20 years. EVISA has been established during a EU funded project, with project partners both from academia and industry with the common aim to promote speciation analysis. Well known scientists working in the area of speciation analysis were part of this project, some of which are retired meanwhile:
Some founding member institutions are no longer on board, for others the younger generation has taken over. One of the project partner and Executive board member, well known scientist in the area of speciation analysis, Olivier Donard has now been elected into the French Academy of Scientists (see the news below). We are congratulating Olivier for this achievement and his new role as academician, namely encouraging the scientific life, promoting the teaching of science, transmitting knowledge between scientific communities, fostering international collaborations, and ensuring a dual role of expertise and advise. That is exactly, what Olivier Donard has done already for decades.
One of the main aim of EVISA is to provide the know-how for high-quality speciation analysis. To achieve accuracy even for complex sample materials is quite challenging and calls for validated methods and other means of quality management. Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) are an important tool for achieving accuracy. A consortium of international researchers has conducted an inter-laboratory comparative study with a primary focus on accurately quantifying highly toxic arsenic species present in seven distinct biological materials. The outcomes of this endeavor have yielded a high degree of concordance among the submitted results, thereby facilitating the certification of the materials under investigation (see the news below). We encourage the analytical community working in the area of arsenic speciation analysis to make use of these new CRMs.

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.
