Heavy Metals Analysis in Food

Heavy Metals in Food

"Detect and measure levels of heavy metals that may cause cancer, neurological issues and cardiovascular disease when consumed is very important. PerkinElmer offer standard methods to:

Quantify the level of arsenic in baby foods and juices
Test for the presence of lead, mercury, and other dangerous metals in nutraceuticals
Screen for cadmium in farmed fish and aquaculture feeds
Meet regulatory requirements limiting nickel in all areas of the food and beverage industries

Our proven ICP-OES and ICP-MS instrumentation for heavy metal detection and analysis eliminates interferences between elements, allowing scientists to process more samples with greater speed while meeting regulated detection levels."

Characterization of Arsenic Species in Apple Juice using a NexSAR HPLC-ICP-MS Speciation Analysis Ready Solution

Although apple juice is a healthy, and often preferred, alternative to artificially flavored and carbonated drinks for many parents to give to children, concern has been raised over the presence of arsenic within. This work demonstrates a reversed-phase ion-pairing method for the complete separation ...

Arsenic Speciation Analysis in Rice Following Method GB 5009.11-2014 to Ensure Safety

Rice represents a dietary staple for over half of the world's population. However, in recent years, concerns have been raised over the presence of high levels of arsenic (As), where this carcinogenic metalloid can be accumulated at levels far exceeding ambient concentrations. Since China is the worl ...

Determination of arsenic in foods by GFAAS

Determination of Arsenic in Baby Foods and Fruit Juices by GFAAS

Arsenic can find its way into food through a variety of paths. In the recent past, various organic arsenicals were used as herbicides and antimicrobial agents in growth fields as well as applied directly on fruits and fruit trees. This application note shows a method that can be successfully applied ...

Accurate Determination of Lead in Different Dairy Products by Graphite Furnace AA Spectrometry

The performance of this method was validated by assessing the Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and China National Institute of Metrology (NIM) as well as by comparing these results with those obtained using inductively coupled plas ...

Fast Digestion Analysis of Lead and Cadmium in Rice Using Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption

Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are common pollutants in grains and are extremely toxic. Pb is harmful to human organs even at trace levels, and once it accumulates in the body, it causes inhibition of hemoglobin formation and neurological disorders. Cd is even classified as human carcinogen [Group 1 - a ...

Fast Digestion Analysis of Lead and Cadmium in Rice Using GFAAS with Deuterium Background Correction

Toxic elements, such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), are entering the food chain through environmental contamination. Rice, as the most widely consumed cereal grain in Asia, can quickly pick up Pb and Cd from soil, thereby seriously endangering human health through diet. These toxic element levels ne ...
