National Institute of Standards & Technology Certificate of Analysis Standard Reference Material ® 1947 Lake Michigan Fish Tissue

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is a frozen fish tissue homogenate that was prepared from fish collected from Lake Michigan, and is intended primarily for use in evaluating analytical methods for the determination of selected trace elements, methylmercury, total mercury, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, chlorinated pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners, perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), proximates, α-hexabromocyclododecane (α-HBCD), caloric content, and fatty acids in fish tissue and similar matrices. All of the constituents for which certified, reference, and information mass fraction values are provided are naturally present in the fish tissue homogenate. A unit of SRM 1947 consists of five bottles, each containing approximately eight grams (wet basis) of frozen tissue homogenate.
