LCS and Method Spike <br /> Ldata 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 /> L 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 analyses. <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 similar to analytes of interest in chemical behaviour. 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 /> instrument performance. <br /> D: Surrogates diluted out. <br /> I: Interference. <br /> L !: Indicates result outside of established laboratory QC limits. <br />
