Our major
research area is the development of methods of trace element analysis
and speciation analysis (the determination of chemical species of elements),
and the application of these methods to problems in human health, the
environment and biology. Trace element analyses are performed with atomic
mass spectrometry, and our methods of speciation analysis are based
on chromatographic separation of the various elemental species, usually
with HPLC, and their detection by atomic and molecular mass spectrometry.
