莱伯泰科:分析海水鱼鱼肉中总汞和甲基汞含量的一种新方法
Abstract: In this work we have developed a cost-effectivemethod for the analysis of methyl mercury (MeHg) inseawater fish muscle. The novelty of this method lies in theuse of microwave- assistedextraction with acidic solution (HCl), addition of toluene, and subsequent extraction with cysteine acetate solution where only MeHg is present because of its affinity for cysteine groups. MeHg in cysteine phase and total mercury in the homogenate muscle tissue were determined using a direct Hg analyzer (DMA-80). Validation, precision, and accuracy of the methodwere evaluated and monitored with a tuna fish certifiedreference material (CRM 463) containing MeHg.Keywords Methyl mercury Microwave extraction Mercury Direct mercury analyzer
