    Step-by-Step Procedure:

    1. Sample preparation:

    Apple or pear juice samples are collected and stored in sample containers

    The samples are then mixed with reagents to prepare them for analysis

    2. Testing equipment:

    Hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS) equipment is used for arsenic analysis

    3. Analysis:

    The prepared samples are analyzed using HG-AAS, which generates a hydride that absorbs light at a specific wavelength

    Test Methodology:

    Step Description

    --- ---

    1 Sample preparation: Apple or pear juice samples are collected and stored in sample containers

    2 Testing equipment: Hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS) equipment is used for arsenic analysis

    3 Analysis: The prepared samples are analyzed using HG-AAS, which generates a hydride that absorbs light at a specific wavelength

    Test Methodology Details:

  • Hydride generation: A solution containing the sample and reagents is introduced into a reaction vessel

  • Atomic absorption spectrometry: The reaction vessel is connected to an atomic absorption spectrometer, which measures the absorption of light by the hydride at a specific wavelength
