Certification for trace elements and methyl mercury mass fractions in IAEA-452 scallop (Pecten Maximus) sample
A marine certified reference material (CRM), IAEA-452, prepared with scallop (Pecten maximus) sample was recently produced by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and certified for trace elements and methyl mercury (MeHg). The Scallop (Pecten maximus) sample is commonly found and consumed seafood and is also used as bio-indicators for trace metal contamination in marine pollution studi...
متن کاملHigh resolution micromill sampling for analysis of fish otoliths by ICP-MS: effects of sampling and specimen preparation on trace element fingerprints.
Otoliths are calcified structures in the head of fish that record environmental information about fish's life history. Gathering the elemental information from the core of an otolith corresponding to the juvenile period of fish's life is critical to discriminate the adult fish to their natal habitats reliably. A high resolution micromill has been used to isolate the otolith core from a whole ot...
متن کاملReference materials as crucial tools for quality assurance and control in food analysis*
The role of reference materials (RMs) in analytical quality assurance (QA) is outlined with special emphasis on trace element analysis of foodstuff. Crucial aspects for the development of such food RMs are illustrated by a recent example of trace elements in rice flour. Major influences on the uncertainty of certified values are discussed and possibilities to enhance the availability and fitnes...
