– 27 CFR 24.246 sets a tolerance of 500 ppb copper in wine<br />

• If fined with copper sulfate<br />

– Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry<br />

• Direct analysis (dilute and shoot)<br />

• Low ppb LOQ<br />

• High throughput<br />

• Able to scan for 53 elements in one sequence<br />

• If <strong>TTB</strong> analyzes a sample, and the concentration of a trace<br />

metal appears to be high, we ask FDA for a health hazard<br />
