Welcome to the November issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
This month, we continue our series on brief summaries related to techniques for speciation analysis, focusing on the hyphenation of liquid chromatography with inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (LC-ICP-OES). While LC-ICP-OES shares some features with its more well-known counterpart, LC-ICP-MS, it also has distinct advantages and limitations. Although early reports on LC-ICP-OES date back to the late 1970s—about six years before LC-ICP-MS was introduced—the number of publications on LC-ICP-OES is approximately ten times fewer than those on LC-ICP-MS (see the news below).
Despite this, LC-ICP-OES has unique features that make it suitable for specific applications. For example, it excels in the speciation analysis of non-metals. Recently, a team of German researchers developed an innovative method using IC-ICP-OES for the quantification of inositol phosphates. This method successfully separated 28 isomers within 33 minutes, demonstrating good precision and detection limits (see the news below).
In other news, EVISA has reported for 20 years on the rising mercury levels in fish, particularly tuna. Previously, it was believed that canned tuna was less contaminated because it uses smaller, younger fish that have not bioaccumulated mercury over a long period. However, a new study by the NGO BLOOM has debunked this belief, showing that canned tuna is even more polluted than fresh tuna (see the news below).
Lastly, the 20th European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, a significant event for discussing trace element determination and speciation analysis, will take place in March next year in Berlin. There is still time to submit poster contributions for this important conference.
