Our Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) standards allow you to Calibrate with Confidence®. The standards are to be used in conjunction with the Statement of Work for Inorganic Analysis; Multi-Media/Multi-Concentration Document Number ILM 05.3/ISM 01.2.
US EPA SOW ILM 05.3/ISM 01.2 gives specific procedures for the methods of analysis, target elements, and concentration levels. Standards are specified not only by the elements present and their relative concentrations, but also the order and frequency of running standards, blanks and samples. Details of these specifications may be found in the US EPA SOW ILM 05.3/ISM 01.2 in the following sections:
• Exhibit C, Inorganic Target Analyte List (TAL)
• Exhibit D, Analytical Methods
• Exhibit E, QA/QC Requirements
For verification of inter-element and background correction factors at the beginning and the end of each analysis run. In addition, a verification must be done after every 20th sample. Two solutions are required for the most common interference check: Solution A, Interferents A2 (04569-10) and Solution AB, a combination of Interferents A2 (04569-10) and analytes (04569-11 or 04569-13). Solution A is prepared by diluting 04569-10 ten-fold. Solution AB is prepared by diluting 04569-10 ten-fold and 04569-11 or 04569-13 hundred-fold; for example, 10 mL of 04569-10 and 1 mL of 04569-11 or 04569-13 into a 100 mL volumetric flask, brought to volume with a matrix blank. Once prepared, the solutions should be analyzed consecutively, starting with Solution A.
