In order to assess the quality and comparability of results from determinations of 1,2,5,6,9,10-hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) in biological samples, two interlaboratory comparison studies have been organized. Up to 13 laboratories determined either the total HBCD concentration, or concentrations of alpha-, beta- and gamma-HBCD, or both in cod liver oil, herring filet, salmon filet, butter and chicken meat. The laboratories were able to determine total HBCD concentrations in the marine samples with satisfying quality (RSD <35%). However, the analysis of samples with low HBCD contamination (<about 2ngg(-1) lipid weight) should be improved. No statistically significant differences were found between total HBCD concentrations obtained by LC-MS and GC-MS. To our knowledge, this is the first report on interlaboratory comparison studies concerning the determination of HBCD in biological samples comprising results from a sufficient number of participants to perform a statistical evaluation.
为评估生物样品中1,2,5,6,9,10-六溴环十二烷(HBCD)测定结果的质量和可比性,组织了两项实验室间比对研究。多达13个实验室测定了鱼肝油、鲱鱼片、鲑鱼片、黄油和鸡肉中HBCD的总浓度,或α-、β-和γ-HBCD的浓度,或两者皆测。各实验室能够以令人满意的质量(相对标准偏差<35%)测定海洋样品中HBCD的总浓度。然而,对HBCD污染较低(<约2 ng g⁻¹脂质重量)的样品的分析仍需改进。液相色谱-质谱联用(LC-MS)和气相色谱-质谱联用(GC-MS)测得的HBCD总浓度之间未发现统计学上的显著差异。据我们所知,这是关于生物样品中HBCD测定的实验室间比对研究的首份报告,其中包含足够数量参与者的结果以进行统计评估。
