Oyster tissue analysis

As shown in Table 12.17, complete recovery of added arsenic was obtained within experimental error for a sediment. The arsenic concentration obtained by replicate analysis of the orchard leaves (9.7 0.3pg gr1) and oyster tissue (13.2 0.4pg g-1) were in agreement with the certified values of 10 2 and 13.4 1.9pg gp1, respectively.

In summary of data on tissue contamination in mussels and oysters from the first 3 years (1986-1988) ofthe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Mussel Watch Project, which involved the analysis of samples from 177 coastal and estuarine U.S. sites, overall mean concentrations of low molecular weight PAHs ranged from not detected (detection limits...

Any other factors that may define the analytical requirements should also be considered. For example, when dealing with veterinary drug residue analysis, while the target tissue for domestically produced animals may be liver or kidney, these organ tissues are less commonly available as imported products. The majority of imported meat products are muscle tissue. Therefore, although the method has been validated for analysis of kidney for domestic samples, it is not fit for purpose for use on most import samples until it has also been validated for muscle tissue and possibly even some processed meat products. A method validated for the analysis of an aquaculture drug or natural toxin in oysters from domestic production may also, for example, require validation for shrimp or tilapia for application to imports. In addition, the requirement may include development of a...
