    Journal: Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom; 2005; 19(7):910-4. PubMed ID: 15747321.
    Abstract:
    The materials used to prepare the certified reference materials (CRMs) for Cd rice flour described here were taken from Cd-contaminated rice samples, round-grained and non-sticky rice grown in different provinces throughout China. The Cd rice materials were first blown to remove dust and husk, and then were successively ground, sieved, dried and mixed to form homogeneous rice flour. The Cd rice flour was packed in glass bottles, each bottle containing 40 g. All bottled CRMs were subjected to 60Co radiation (2.5 megarads) for long-term preservation. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used to determine the homogeneity of the cadmium content in each material. The certification of the cadmium content for the three CRMs was performed using isotope dilution mass spectrometry.
