(11/87) <br /> * SAS analyses include non-routine analytical methods and non-routine sample <br /> matrices, e.g. , air, woodwaste or oil. RAS+SAS analyses are modifications <br /> to the RAS procedures such as fast-turnaround times, low detection limits <br /> on specific TCL compounds, and the addition of compounds not on the TCL <br /> but which can be analyzed by RAS methods. <br /> * The sample plan should distinguish between RAS, RAS+SAS and SAS analyses; <br /> however, these designations may be changed by the Regional Sample Control <br /> Coordinator (RSCC) because of factors involved in selecting a CLP laboratory. <br /> * For all non-CLP laboratory analyses, state or reference from the QAPjP the <br /> analytical methods, compounds to be analyzed, required detection or quareitation <br /> limits, and required laboratory quality control. <br /> A. Narrative Request For Analyses <br /> * Identify the sample matrices and analytes by class and/or compound. Each <br /> analyte not on the TCL must be identified by chemical name (not trade name) . <br /> * Identify the analytical methods to be used by the laboratory for all SAS <br /> requests. If more than one analytical method is acceptable, that should be <br /> noted (it speeds up the bidding process) . If the objective is a comparison <br /> with historical data then it is usually recommended that the sane methods be <br /> used consistently. <br /> * Include or reference from the QAPjP any special instructions for the laboratory <br /> that differ from the selected method. State if filtering for dissolved metals <br /> must be done in the laboratory. <br /> * Identify the needed detection or quantitation limits for all SAS requests. <br /> * Identify the potential for analytical interferences. <br /> B. Tabular Reauest For Analyses (See Appendix A for an example) <br /> x Identify all analytical parameters by matrix on a sample by sample basis in <br /> a tabular format. <br /> * Identify the container type, sample volumes, preservatives, special handling <br /> and analytical hold times necessary for each parameter. <br /> * Identify all field QA/QC samples (blanks, backgrounds, replicates, lab QC <br /> saenDles and splits) . If extra volumes is needed for lab QC samples this <br /> should be included and identified. (See Section VI - H. ) <br /> * Include the sampling schedule on a daily or weekly basis. <br /> * Total the nunber of samples and analyses on a weekly basis. Include duplicates <br /> and blanks. <br /> * If samplim occurs in episodes, e.g. daily or weekly, devote a page/sample <br /> matrix/episode. <br /> * Our format does not fit all sampling schemes and is for guidance. Your <br /> modified version must include all of the information requested on our form <br /> (see Appendix A) . <br />
