Welcome to the October issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
Last month, our web portal welcomed more than 825,000 visitors — an impressive figure that reflects the continued trust of the scientific community and the general public. We firmly believe that this success stems from the high quality and reliability of the information we provide.
High-quality information is especially vital in science, where research results form the cornerstone of progress in health care, food safety, environmental protection, and industrial innovation.
Recently, we published an article summarizing the role of analytical chemistry in society, and addressed the growing problem of fraudulent science in another article — a phenomenon that undermines the credibility of research, wastes resources, distorts policy decisions, and can have devastating long-term consequences for human lives. Sadly, scientific misconduct has already eroded public trust in science, and this loss of confidence has, in some countries, been used to justify reductions in science funding.
This raises a crucial question: Does cutting science funding really strengthen a nation’s economy?
You can read more about this discussion in the news item below.
Automation in Speciation Analysis
Automation is one of the most significant current trends in instrumental analytical chemistry. It is particularly relevant for analytical tasks that involve a high number of samples or intensive manual work.
As speciation analysis becomes increasingly common in routine laboratories, automation is being implemented to reduce manual workload, increase analytical throughput, and lower overall analytical costs.
In a concise new summary, we outline:- The stages of the analytical workflow that can be automated,
- The benefits automation can bring to speciation analysis, and
- The main challenges still to be addressed.
The article also highlights emerging directions and provides examples of practical automated applications — see the related news item below.
Upcoming Events
The final quarter of this year offers several events focusing on speciation analysis across different scientific disciplines.

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 current all the time.
Overview of automation in speciation analysis
Automation is a general trend for instrumental analytical chemistry. It is especially envisaged for analytical tasks with high number of samples and/or high manual workload.
Automation in speciation analysis means using hardware and software to make the sample-to-result workflow repeatable, higher-throughput, safer, and less dependent on manual operator actions. It covers automated sample handling and pretreatment, automated separations (HPLC/IC/GC), automated coupling to element-selective detectors (ICP-MS, ICP-QQQ), integrated instrument control and data processing, and automated quality assurance and reporting.
