Elisabeth Fischer

Elisabeth Fischer is a researcher at the Institute of Analytical Chemistry, Department of Natural Sciences and Sustainable Resources, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). She holds a doctorate and is actively engaged in research projects related to trace and ultra-trace elemental analysis in environmental and biological matrices. Her work involves advanced analytical techniques such as ICP-MS and LC-ICP-MS, with applications in water quality, food safety, and biomedical research.

Her research interests include analytical chemistry, environmental monitoring, elemental speciation, metal homeostasis, and the development of novel methodologies for ultra-trace analysis. She has contributed significantly to the understanding of technology-critical elements in natural waters and metal imbalances in allergic conditions.

The recent publications reflect a strong focus on methodological advancements in ICP-MS-based analysis, particularly for high mineralized waters and seawater. Her work spans environmental forensics (e.g., tracing glass eels), biomedical applications (e.g., iron deficiency in allergies), and the detection of precious and hazardous elements in complex matrices. The keywords across her work highlight interdisciplinary research at the intersection of analytical chemistry, environmental science, and health.
