Abstract A method validation of the total analysis of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and mercury (Hg) in foodstuffs by inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICP/MS) after closed vessel microwave digestion is presented. Due to the lack of reference method for ICP/MS techniques in food and, based on the project of the European Committee of Normalization (CEN/TC 275/WG 10), the Agence Française de Normalisation (AFNOR) guidelines NF V03–110 were used for the evaluation of this method based on 2 steps, sample preparation and multielement detection. Several criteria considered as compulsory (linearity, specificity, precision under repeatability conditions, and trueness) have been estimated and discussed, in addition to intermediate precision reproducibility, the limit of detection, and the limit of quantification. Furthermore, a comparison with in-house methods using electrothermal atomic absorption was performed using an external proficiency testing scheme and food samples. The results indicated that this method could be used in the laboratory for the routine determination of these 4 cumulative toxic metals in foodstuffs with acceptable analytical performance.

Abstract A single-laboratory validation (SLV) is presented for the simultaneous determination of 10 ultratrace elements (UTEs) including aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), molybdenum (Mo), lead (Pb), selenium (Se), and tin (Sn) in infant formulas, adult nutritionals, and milk based products by inductively coupled plasma (ICP)/MS after acidic pressure digestion. This robust and routine multielemental method is based on several official methods with modifications of sample preparation using either microwave digestion or high pressure ashing and of analytical conditions using ICP/MS with collision cell technology. This SLV fulfills AOAC method performance criteria in terms of linearity, specificity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy and fully answers most international regulation limits for trace contaminants and/or recommended nutrient levels established for 10 UTEs in targeted matrixes.
