Brookhaven National Laboratory Upton, NY 11973-5000

Section I - Analytical Method Specifications

The following section lists the required QC for analysis for selected methods and the full data package deliverables. Whenever practical, the analyte lists contained in the PDF copies of the data packages should be numbered. For organic analyses where the contractor laboratory is responsible for setting the recovery control limits for various quality control checks (i.e. lab control samples, surrogate recoveries, etc.), the minimal acceptable control limit cannot be lower than 10%.
