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

The European Virtual Institute for Speciation Analysis (EVISA) has been established 20 years ago with the main aim to provide the know-how for high-quality speciation analysis. Last month we welcomed the 20 millionth visitor on our internet portal. We do believe that our service for more than 20 years and a trusty user community clearly testify that the original mission statement for EVISA is still valid and responding to societal needs.

Yet speciation analysis is continuously developing and changing its focus. It started by studying the impact of organometallic compounds such as tetraethyllead or tributyltin on the environment, later focused on the investigation of endogenous metal species in biological systems and further on biochemical reaction mechanisms. The complexity of questions to be answered often call for information from different techniques and methodologies. For example, when studying the biological effect of metallic species in the framework of metallomics, scientists today also look on the effects of genes and their expression.

While IUPAC has provided a definition of speciation analysis, the definition of chemical speciation in our modern chemical science has changed, and many authors include molecular shape, structural parameters, morphology and other parameters. EVISA has tried not only to follow such changes but to support the community in exploring new directions.

This month we continue our series of brief summaries giving access to information about a topic related to speciation analysis:
Nanoparticles - a target for speciation analysis and Isotopic measurements and speciation analysis (see the news below). We do hope that these summaries help to get straight access to relevant information.

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 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.




EVISA's Internet Portal: More than 20 Years of Service - More than 20 Million Visitors
EVISA's Internet Portal is servicing it's user community for more than 20 years. Last month we welcomed the 20 millionth visitor.

Isotopic measurements and speciation analysis
Isotopic analysis and speciation analysis are distinct techniques with different objectives, yet there can be some overlap in specific applications.
more

Nanoparticles - a target for speciation analysis
During the last 20 years, the analytical community has widened the target area for speciation analysis by a new type of species: nanoparticles. Here we give access to techniques and methods used, as well as other useful information about nanoparticles

DIRECTORY

EVISA's directory of scientist is a versatile tool to facilitate contact with scientists in the field of speciation and related sciences. The directory is fully searchable for names, addresses, research topics etc.  You should bookmark this directory as an always up-to-date address book. (In order to hinder SPAM robots for collecting the E-mail accounts, we hide them in a special format).

More than 290 active scientists in the field of speciation analysis already joined the directory. Join this great directory that is extensively linked to all type of other information on this site, such as homepages, conferences and literature.

If your entry is still missing in this directory, please contact us at info@speciation.net.
