Abstract

An analytical method for the determination of aluminium in the edible part of fish was developed using a new pre-treatment method in a microwave activated oxygen plasma and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The linearity of the calibration line as well as of different standard addition lines were very good within the measurement area of 0–60 μg Al/L. The recovery with spiked ocean perch fillet was good. The unsatisfactory recovery of aluminium with the reference-material (mussel tissue) may be due to high quantities of insoluble aluminium-silicates. An installed quality-control-card indicated that the method showed no significant fluctuation as well as contamination over the complete analysis time. The limit of detection calculated as 3 times the standard deviation of the blank absorbance divided by the slope of the calibration line was 1 μg Al/L.
