TL;DR: In this paper, a precise procedure is proposed for the determination of arsenic in mussel products by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, which has a detection limit of 0.1 μg g−1, a relative standard deviation of 3%, and a recovery percentage of 98±2%.
Abstract: A precise, accurate procedure is proposed for the determination of arsenic in mussel products by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Organic matter is destroyed by dry ashing. Experimental conditions for the determination of arsenic were selected and an interference study was carried out. The methodology developed has a detection limit of 0.1 μg g−1, a relative standard deviation of 3%, and a recovery percentage of 98±2%. The accuracy of the method was checked by analysis of a certified sample of NIST oyster tissue (certified 14.0±1.2 μg g−1; found 14.1±1.1 μg g−1). The proposed procedure was used to analyze real samples of mussel products.
