Tuna Homogenate

​A sample of Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) was collected from the Mediterranean Sea in 2004. This sample was freeze-dried, ground, and sieved at 250 μm. The powder was homogenized and aliquots of about 30 g were packed into glass bottles to produce the IAEA-435 reference material. More details about the preparation of this reference material are provided in reference [INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGERNCY, World-wide intercompari​​​son exercise for the determination of organochlorine compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons in tuna homogenate IAEA-435, IAEA/AL/163, IAEA, Vienna (2006)). New homogeneity and characterization studies were performed on the IAEA-435 material to become IAEA-435A​

(a) Information on calculation of certified values 
Certified values are calculated from the accepted data sets, each set being obtained by a different laboratory and/or a different method of determination following ISO Guide 35 [1]. 

(b) Information on uncertainty estimation 
The uncertainty is expressed as an expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor k = 2 estimated in accordance with the JCGM 100:2008 [2] and ISO Guide 35 [1]. 

 

The values li​​​sted above were established on the basis of statistically valid results submitted by laboratories which had participated in an international interlaboratory comparison organized by the IAEA Marine Environment Laboratory, Monaco. The details concerning the criteria for qualification as a recommended or information value can be found in the respective report (attached).
