Resumen
Materiales de referencia (MR) son herramientas utilizadas en la comparabilidad y trazabilidad entre mediciones. Laboratorios los utilizan ampliamente en validación de métodos y control de calidad. Chile debe evaluar el desempeño de los laboratorios que analizan metales en productos pesqueros, a pesar de los altos precios y escasez del MR. Por esa razón, se desarrolló un MR en producto hidrobiológico. Se asignaron valores de referencia para arsénico y cadmio en harina de pescado. Los métodos de medición para la caracterización del material fueron Espectrometría de Masas de Plasma Acoplado Inductivamente, Espectrometría de Absorción Atómica y Análisis de Activación de Neutrones. Se establecieron valores de referencia con su incertidumbre (U) para arsénico 2.64 ± 0.42 mg/kg (U; k = 2) y para cadmio 0.86 ± 0.16 mg/kg (U; k = 2). La homogeneidad y estabilidad del MR permitieron su uso en una prueba de aptitud para once laboratorios de control de alimentos. Las medianas fueron 2,114 mg/kg para arsénico y 0,863 mg/kg para cadmio. Se evaluaron los rendimientos de los participantes con un estadístico de puntaje z satisfactorio del 60% para el arsénico y 73% para el cadmio. El material demostró ser adecuado para uso en ensayo de aptitud de intercomparación.
