14.1 Raw Laboratory Data Review
1
All analysts are responsible for reviewing and validating the analytical and
quality control data they have generated. The following conditions must be
verified prior to entering data into LIMS.
• Appropriate analytical methodology was used, based on the sample matrix
and analyte concentration.

1

• Instrumentation was functioning properly during sample analysis.
• Quality control sample checks were analyzed at the proper frequency and
quality control sample checks met performance criteria requirements.
• Analysis was completed within the method-specified holding time. If
holding times were exceeded, immediately inform the appropriate laboratory
section supervisor.
• All analytes were quantitated within the calibration rang@ (samples were
diluted into calibration range, if necessary).
• Matrix interference problems were verified. Corrective action (reanalysis,
dilution, matrix modifiers, etC.) was taken to minimize dr eliminate the
interference, where possible.
• Method specific analytical requirements were achieved (y-intercept values,
correlation coefficient values, surrogate recoveries, etc.).
• Calculations, dilution factors, and detection limits have been verified.
If any of the requirements listed above for method-specified requirements)
were not met, do not enter this data into LIMS. Instead, immediately inform
the appropriate laboratory section supervisor. The laboratory section
supervisor will then determine what corrective action is required.
