  • Title: Digestion of fish samples for mercury determination by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
    Author: Pearce ID, Brooks RR, Reeves RD.
    Journal: J Assoc Off Anal Chem; 1976 May; 59(3):655-7. PubMed ID: 1270396.
    Abstract:
    Methods of digestion of fish samples for mercury determination by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry have been investigated. Digestion in Teflon bombs, Kjeldahl flasks, or borosilicate test tubes gives comparable precisions and mercury recoveries. Because of their cost and effect in limiting productivity, Teflon bombs were considered unnecessary for analysis of fish samples. Experiments with cooked and uncooked fish samples have confirmed that no appreciable loss of mercury occurs during baking 30 min at 170 degrees C.
