Summary
An interlaboratory comparison tested two methods for extracting microplastics from fish gastrointestinal tracts and mussel tissue: 15% hydrogen peroxide digestion and 10% potassium hydroxide digestion. The exercise, conducted across four labs within the Plastic Busters MPAs project, aimed to harmonize extraction protocols for more comparable results.
In the framework of the Plastic Busters MPAs project, a harmonization exercise on two methods of microplastic extraction from biological samples i.e. 15% HO digestion and 10% KOH digestion was carried out. The two methods were tested in four laboratories on fish gastrointestinal tracts and mussel tissues spiked with polyethylene, polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate. The recovery percentage of microplastics for each method, species and polymer tested were overall similar among laboratories, and interlaboratory coefficient of variation was less than 11% for the majority of samples. Microplastic recovery rates for the two methods were similar for each sample tested, but overall mean interlaboratory recovery rate using KOH (96.67%) was higher than HO (88.75%) Results validate the use of both methods for extracting microplastics from biota tissues. However, when comparing the two methods in terms of microplastic recovery rate, time consumed, technical difficulties and cost, digestion with 10% KOH is considered optimal.
