ort Header Explanations
Batch A distinct set of samples analyzed at a specific time
Found Value of the QC Type of interest
Limit Upper limit for RPD, in %.
Lower Lower Recovery Limit, in % (except for LCSS, mg/Kg)
MDL Method Detection Limit. Same as Minimum Reporting Limit. Allows for instrument and annual fluctuations.
PCWSCN A number assigned to reagents/standards to trace to the manufacturer's certificate of analysis
PQL Practical Quantitation Limit, typically 5 times the MDL.
QC True Value of the Control Sample or the amount added to the Spike
Rec Recovered amount of the true value or spike added, in % (except for LCSS, mg/Kg)
RPD Relative Percent Difference, calculation used for Duplicate QC Types
Upper Upper Recovery Limit, in % (except for LCSS, mg/Kg)
Sample Value of the Sample of interest

Blanks Verifies that there is no or minimal contamination in the prep method or calibration procedure
Control Samples Verifies the accuracy of the method, including the prep procedure.
Duplicates Verdes the precision of the instrument and/or method.
Spikes/Forted Matrix Determines sample matrix interferences, if any.
Standard Verdes the validity of the calibration.
AGZ • • .
B Analyte concentration detected at a value between MDL and PQL. The associated value is an estimated quantity.
H Analysis exceeded method hold time. pH is a field test with an immediate hold time.
L Target analyte response was below the laboratory defined negative threshold.
U The material was analyzed for, but was not detected above the level of the associated value.
The associated value is either the sample quantitation limit or the sample detection limit.
