- Output all samples and parameters per batch.
Delete samples only if they have been rerun due to errors.
- Do not edit any parameter values.
However, you may edit QC IDs and Sample IDs to correct typos.
- Prefix lab numbers with a Sample ID.
Example: AW1234
- Add ".1" to duplicate lab numbers.
Example: AW1234.1
- Add "D" to the Sample ID and QC ID for dilution runs.
Examples: AWD1234, BLANKD
- Exclude spaces in Sample IDs and QC IDs.
| Correct | Incorrect
|
|---|
| W1234 | W 1234
| | QC121 | QC 121
|
- Run a blank prior to dilution runs.
- Be consistent in the spelling of QC Samples.
See Table 1.
- Apply the Undiluted Run Factor to the undiluted run.
See Table 1.
- Do not apply factors to the diluted run.
- For the diluted run:
If these are Specials or Animal Wastes, or the diluter is not applying a 10-fold dilution,
add a hyphen and the total dilution factor,
including digestion/extraction, after the lab number.
Example: SPD982-5000
