Single individual samples. the soft tissue into the plastic container weighed, reweighed, note the fresh weight. Tightly closed and labeled. Measured with a ruler Shell and record length. More individual samples. the steps above to the soft tissue of at least 10 individuals into a known weight of the plastic container, weighing, note the fresh weight. In homogenized homogenized samples, homogenized sample back in a plastic container, and then weigh and record the total weight, calculated homogenized sample weight. Paste sample label. Each individual organism size should be similar, and their individual lengths were measured and the total weight before removing biological tissue. 4.1.5.3 shrimp sample preparation 4.1.5.3.1 single individual samples Long body with a ruler shrimp, shrimp-like film on the said polyethylene, weighing, note length, and fresh weight. The chest and abdomen and head and tail separated by a plastic knife, carefully remove the viscera from the abdomen. Total removal of the leg. Turn down the abdomen with plastic A stripper knife along the outer edge of the abdominal incision, remove the inside of the outer armor with plastic forceps and discarded. Another with the plastic knife loose abdominal muscles, and muscle removed with tweezers. Check the gonads, records identified gender. Tweezers muscle moved plastic container, weighed and the fresh weight. Tightly closed containers, marked with numbers. The several containers together into the same Plastic bag, together with sample registration list, knot it tightly, cold refrigerator. 4.1.5.3.2 more individual samples Samples were prepared according to the method described above, carefully recording each individual length, fresh weight, abdominal muscle weight and gender. Each sample shall comprise six to On the same sex, similar to the size of individual muscles.

Cover caps, weighed with an analytical balance, note the weight. Take 5g ~ 10g of the biometric sample preparation in the weighing bottle, cover caps, and then said Weight (± 0.5mg) and note the weight. The weighing bottle containing the sample into the semi-open lid 105 ℃ oven, removed after 24h, placed in the dryer to cool 30min. After the cover cap Weigh and record the weight alleged. Repeat the drying operation, the drying to the weight before and after the two is less than 0.5% of the total weight. Wet and dry weight ratio calculation. 4.1.6.2 lyophilized High levels of lipids in biological samples, can not be dried to constant weight, the application freeze-dried. Weigh accurately 1g ~ 2g the biometric system Preparation of the sample in a clean container freeze-dried samples, weighed after the first freeze-drying 24h. Again lyophilized 24h, reweighed. twice Weigh weight difference should be less than 0.5% by weight of the total. Otherwise, it should continue to be dried to meet the requirements. Wet and dry weight ratio calculation. 4.1.7 Precautions The provisions should note the following. --- Mussels collected near the laboratory, there is no special transport and storage problems. When transported to the laboratory, samples should be ventilated with mussels Seawater remains moist. Inter collected from intertidal mussels can survive in air for 24h. Mussels should not be placed in water transport; --- After hand washing, not touching anatomy, should wear gloves; if conditions permit, preparation and sample preparation shall be in a clean strip Element is carried out; --- When multiple individual sample preparation, should take the same sex, similar to the size of individual organisms. Before removing the soft tissue should be measured separately for each Body length and weight of the body; --- Sample before digestion, the vessel containing the total weight of the sample and the weight of the storage time of the comparison, can be found in the samples during storage if weightlessness; --- Trace metal content in different parts of the muscle may differ, so the actual sample information should be recorded in detail as far as possible; --- A biological sample for organochlorine pesticides and petroleum hydrocarbons measured, sample collection and pre-treatment equipment and reagents make the appropriate corresponding changes Change, should avoid the use of plastic containers containing halogenated reagents; --- Determination of total mercury and organisms harmful organisms, not dried sample application, the application of wet sample measurement, the results are still dry sample analyte Content to represent. 4.2 regulations and requirements 4.2.1 Analysis of samples drying. drying temperature and time are not specified, refer to 105 ℃ ± 1 ℃, drying 2h. 4.2.2 Standard Solution, all pipettes and flasks test should be performed or capacity correction. 4.2.3 Unless otherwise stated, the purification of the container are to (1 + 3) soaked with a solution of nitric acid 2d ~ 3d after carefully with deionized water shower Wash, dry spare. 4.2.4 pH value unless otherwise indicated measurement methods, are available a wide range of pH test paper or precision measurements. 4.2.5 To check the quality of the analysis results, samples should be analyzed by a group of random selection of inspection samples in Table 1, respectively, bagging and other series like numbers, the base This kind of cross-check sample analysis testers, determined according to the following requirements. --- Sample checks of the same kind of basic measurement items; --- When the number of samples analyzed more basic kind of check samples can be tested should not be scheduled in the same batch; --- Test results are listed in Table 2 twin sample relative deviation of analytical quality control. When a two-item test sample test results is greater than the super slip 30% of this batch of basic samples should be fully re-entry to the test sample, said determination; --- If the above still-tolerance conditions, analysis and testing should be carefully checked analyze the reasons (such as the preparation of the environmental quality standard solution, the There are no unusual circumstances, etc.) with the equipment, and then measured the sample batch (basic sample and check samples) of; --- When a test sample test results exceed double entry error rate of less than 30%, the sample should be re-called ultra-poor samples were measured until a new measurement results If qualified so far.
