Abstract Determination of Mg, re, and Zn by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP) and by the official flame atomic absorption spectrophotometric (FAA) method were compared. Samples were acid digests of commercial fertilizers. Neither matrix effects nor spectral interferences were encountered in the ICP analyses. Linear regression shows that the slopes obtained by plotting ICP results vs FAA results for each element differ from unity by less than 5%.

Abstract Results from a collaborative study of a method for the determination of 9 elements in infant formula, using inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, are reported. Six collaborators analyzed 6 infant formulas for native and spiked levels of Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, K, Na, and Zn. The within-laboratory and between-laboratory coefficients of variation were generally (69 of 108 samples) below 9% for all elements determined in all samples. Most of the average recoveries of the elements from spiked samples ranged from 90 to 105%. The method has been adopted official first action for determining Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, K, Na, and Zn in infant formula.
