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

This is the last Speciation Newsletter from EVISA. EVISA has decided to dissolve the association and to close its web portal at the end of the year.
EVISA can be regarded as a true success story that has contributed significantly to the development of speciation analysis. Over the past two decades, speciation analysis has become routine in many laboratories and has been incorporated into regulations for food safety, environmental protection, and occupational health.

While speciation analysis is no longer a primary focus for many instrument manufacturers—having been superseded by emerging fields such as single-cell analysis, imaging mass spectrometry, and the study of contaminants like PFAS and microplastics—it remains an essential and mature analytical approach. Speciation analysis will continue to play a vital role in metallomics, including the study of metalloproteins, and in understanding the biogeochemical cycling of elements in the environment.

EVISA thanks all contributors, partners, and users who have been part of this remarkable journey.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous Year 2026

Your EVISA team

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 300 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.
