Welcome to the August issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
Arsenic is one of the most often investigated element for its speciation. More than 100 different arsenic species have been identified to occur in biological systems. Now a group of researchers from the TESLA Lab at the University of Graz together with a colleague from the US FDA have identified a former unknown arsenic species observed in some rice grain samples. This is somehow surprising, since more than 250 publications are discussing the arsenic speciation in rice. The new arsenic compound found in rice is dimethylarsonyldimethylarsinic acid and the researchers speculated that the compound could have been overlooked up to now at low concentrations in other biological materials because of its behaviour during extraction and chromatographic separation (see the news below).
Another element has been investigated much less often for its speciation: tungsten. While the metal is used in many industrial, military, and consumer applications, interest in its biogeochemical cycling has been raised only more recently. Chinese researchers have now developed a method for the simultaneous determination of tungstates, thiotungstates, and polytungstates in natural waters by reverse phase ion pair chromatography coupled with ICP-MS (see the news below).
Normally at the end of this month the holiday season would be finished
and conferences and symposia would be scheduled. Indeed, EVISA's Agenda of Events is listing numerous conferences scheduled for September and later of the year as in-person events.
