Mussel tissue - Organics This Standard Reference Material® (SRM®) is intended for use in evaluating analytical methods for the determination of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, chlorinated pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners, hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) isomers, methylmercury, inorganic mercury, and total mercury in marine bivalve mollusk tissue and similar matrices. All of the constituents for which certified and reference values are provided are naturally present in the freeze-dried mussel tissue. A unit of SRM2974A consists of one bottle containing approximately 5 g of freeze-dried mussel tissue.
