LCS and Method spike <br />C data are used to validate batch analytical results. <br />Matrix Spike(s): Aliquot of a sample (aqueous or solid) with added quantities of specific compounds and <br />subjected to the entire analytical procedure. Matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate OC data are advisory. <br />Method Blank: An analytical control consisting of all reagents, internal standards, and surrogate standards <br />carried through the entire analytical process. Used to monitor laboratory background and reagent contamination. <br />Not Detected (ND): Not detected at or above the reporting limit. <br />[ Relative Percent Difference (RPD): An indication of method precision based an duplicate analysis. <br />(� Reporting Limit (RL): The lowest concentration routinely determined during laboratory operations. The RL is <br />generally 1 to 10 times the Method Detection Limit (MDL). Reporting limits are matrix, method, and analyte <br />dependent and take into account any dilutions performed as part of the analysis. <br />Surrogates: Organic compounds which are-simitarto analytes of interest in chemical behavior, but are not found <br />in environmental samples. Surrogates are added to all blanks, calibration and check standards, samples, and <br />spiked samples. Surrogate recovery is monitored as an indication of acceptable sample preparation and <br />�. instrumental performance_ <br />0: Surrogates diluted out. <br />#: Indicates result outside of established Laboratory QC limits. <br />I I <br />
