The trueness and precision (components of accuracy) of the method
were defined by assays with equine muscle, bovine kidney and swine
kidney, and poultry muscle blanks and spiked at 62 μg Kg−1 (14 ng
Hg) and 333 μg Kg−1 (75 ng Hg) in six independent replicates for
each analyzed level. Trueness was investigated through mean recovery
obtained for the six replicates of spiked samples at each leve
