LCS and Method Spike <br /> 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 on 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 A Bch are similar to analytes of interest .n 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 /> D Surrogates diluted out <br /> . # Indicates result outside of established laboratory OC limits <br />
