The following list gives some details on books devoted to elemental speciation (analysis) published since 2001. The list is neither exhaustive nor do we guarantee that all books are still available. ...

Certified reference materials are a major tool for laboratories to monitor the performance of their analyical work. Similarly to other measurement fields, speciation analysis requires the availability...

While there are many conferences and symposia having sections on speciation analysis, there a few totally dedicated to speciation analysis. Following these conference is helpful for the understanding ...

The rapid development of inorganic instrumental analysis after World War II, mainly driven by the development of atomic spectrometry, enabled the analytical community to look into the role of trace el...

The major challenge of speciation analysis is the isolation, separation and quantification of the species leaving the original compound intact, which may be in some kind of equilibrium state with othe...

The European Commission proposed a new EU regulatory framework for the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) on 29 October 2003.     Aims of REACH The aim is to im...

The research fields for speciation analysis are manifold and cannot be discussed in detail here. However some major fields should be mentioned: Environmental risk analysis with its main tasks hazard ...

Speciation analysis provides the information necessary to describe the effects of active species ( Why should it be done ?) which is not available from the results of total trace element determination...

In classical toxicology, speciation of carbon is taken for granted and the carbon compounds responsible for toxicity are always described with the appropriate chemical nomenclature. By contrast, speci...

The International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has published guidelines or recommendations for the definition of speciation analysis: Speciation analysis is the analytical activity of...

Depending on the area of interest, speciation analysis is focussing on chemical compounds that differ in isotopic composition, conformation, oxidation or electronic state, or in the nature of their co...

Our understanding for the mechanisms of biological activities and biogeochemical cycling of mineral and trace element species has been substantially advanced during recent years with the help of chemi...

The tools for speciation analysis are manifold. Very few species-specific techniques do, however, allow direct speciation. These include Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Nucle...

Under the sections below we report about open positions related to speciation analysis that have been announced to us. If you have such information that you would like to share with the community of...

Since only speciation analysis provides the information about the identity of chemical species and there concentration, the question about the value of the often performed "total element determination...

  Historically trace metal and non-metal analyses have mainly evolved through the development of atomic spectrometry after world war II. Unfortunately, sources for atomic spectrometry (atomizers...

Whenever an analyst is producing data on the presence and/or concentration level of elements in a sample, the data are meant to answer one of the following questions depending on the nature of the sam...
