1 Scope
This Standard specifies the methods for the determination of tin in foods by hydride
atomic fluorescence spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and
inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry.
This Standard applies to the determination of tin in foods.
Method I - Hydride atomic fluorescence spectrometry
2 Principle
After the sample is digested, tin hydride (SnH4) is generated under the action of sodium
borohydride (or potassium borohydride), and is brought into the atomizer by the carrier
gas for atomization. Under the irradiation of a tin hollow cathode lamp, the ground state
tin atoms are excited to an upper state.

abscissa and the fluorescence intensity as the ordinate.
