1 I f ANAMETRIX REPORT DESCRIPTION GCMS Organic Analysis Data Sheets (GADS) DADS forms contain tabulated results for target compounds. The DADS are grouped by method and, within each method, organized sequentially in order of increasing Anametrix ID number. Tentatively Identified Compounds (TICs) TIC forms contain tabulated results for non-tar,at compounds detected in GC/HS analyses. TICs must be requested at the time samples are submitted at Anametrix.' TIC forms immediately follow the DADS form for each sample. If TICs are requested but not found, then TIC forms will not be included with the report_ Surrogate Recovery Summary (SRS) SRS forms contain quality assurance data. An SRS form will be printed for each method, if the method requires surrogate compounds. They will list surrogate percent recoveries for all samples and any method blanks. Any surrogate recovery outside the established limits will be flagged with an "' , and the total number of surrogates outside the limits will be listed in the column labelled "Total Out". i Matrix Spike Recovery Form (MSR) MSR forms contain quality assurance data. They summarize percent recovery and relative percent difference information for ratrix spikes and matrix spike duplicates. This information is a statement of both accuracy and precision. Any percent recovery or relative percent difference outside established limits will be flagged with an"'.", and the total number outside the limits will be listed at the bottom of the page. Not all reports will contain an MSR forma. f ,r Qualifiers Anametrix uses several data qualifiers (Q) in it's report forms. These qualifiers give additional information ry on the compounds reported. They should help a data reviewer to verify the integrity of the analytical results. The following is a list of qualifiers and their meanings: U Indicates that the compound was analyzed for, but was not detected at or above the specified reporting # limit. i B - Indicates that the compound was detected in the associated method blank. J - Indicates that the compound was detected at an amount below the specified reporti,-3 limit. Consequently, the amount should be considered an approximate value. Tentatively identified compounds will always have a J" qualifier because they are not included in the instrument calibration. E - Indicates that the amount reported exceeded the linear range of the instrument calibration. D - Indicates that the -;ompound was detected in an analysis performed at a secondary dilution.. A - Indicates that the tentatively identified compound is a suspected aldol condensation product. This is common in EPA Method 8270 soil analyses. i Absence of a qualifier indicates that the compound was detected at a concentration at or above the specified - - reporting limit. REPORTING CONVENTIONS + Due to a size limitation in our data processing step, only the first eight (B) characters of your project ID and sample ID will be printed on the report forms. However, the report cover letter and report summary pages display up to twenty (20) characters of your project and sample IDs. + Amounts reported are gross values, i.e., not corrected fur method blank contamination.
