Welcome to the April issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
There are some elements being in the focus of speciation analysis and therefore appearing in the news nearly every month, such as arsenic, mercury and chromium. Germanium has not often been studied because of its presence in the environment at only ultratrace
concentrations, related analytical challenges and its relative rare
industrial use until recent years. However, that might change in the future, since germanium is one of the Technological Critical Elements (TCE) that are of special interest due to
their increasing use and importance in modern technologies and their
high supply risk for related industries. A group of scientists from the Czech Republic and Switzerland have
now explored and optimized the capabilities of hydride
generation-cryotrapping hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma
tandem mass spectrometry for the speciation of germanium (see the news below).
Arsenic speciation is an important topic, since arsenic species differ greatly in toxicity and human exposure to arsenic via drinking water is "the biggest calamity of the world". Unfortunately, arsenic speciation analysis calls for relatively complex analytical methods and instrumentation provided by state-of-the art laboratories. One of the critical questions of such speciation analysis is how samples can be collected and stored without changing the speciation. A group of scientists from the USA now investigated the stability of arsenic species in different water samples over time (see the news below).
The EVISA web portal is the most important source of information related to speciation analysis. At the end of last month, the EVISA web portal at www.speciation.net, being on-line without any
interruption since 19 years, has welcomed its 16 millionth visitor (see the news below).
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, most of the conferences scheduled for before July have been postponed or modified to virtual events. EVISA's Agenda of Events is frequently updated in order to keep you informed about the organization of relevant events.

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.
Speciation of Germanium in Environmental Water Reference Materials by Hydride Generation and Cryotrapping in Combination with ICP-MS/MS
A group of scientists from the Czech Republic and Switzerland have explored and optimized the capabilities of hydride generation-cryotrapping hyphenated with inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry for the speciation of germanium.
