Podcasts:ICP-MS for Speciation Analysis
Skip Kingston discusses speciation, including Cr and Hg, as well as other species less studied and published on such as Se and As.
He looks at the role they play in toxicology, nutrition and health care. These analyses are not simple and require new tools in chemistry and mass spectrometry.
He will also discuss the new mathematical dimension that has been added to the analysis and quality assurance of these more difficult and sophisticated analysis that are now needed by FDA, CDC, and others.
