Methods
How do I know which method to use?
If you are sampling under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), you should use
500-series methods for organics and 200-series methods for inorganics. Applications
for the SDWA are drinking water systems, delivery point monitoring, receptor and
private wells.
If you are sampling under the Clean Water Act (CWA), you should use 600-series
methods for organics and 200-series methods for inorganics. Applications for the
CWA are discharge permit monitoring, surface water discharges, processed water to
any receiving water (including groundwater) and discharges to POTW's.
If you are sampling under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), you
should use 3500-, 3600-, 5000- or 8000-series methods for organics and 3000-,
6000- or 7000-series methods for inorganics. Applications for RCRA are solids,
waters and organic wastes associated with disposal or monitoring of disposal
sites and waste characterization.

Reporting Limit (RL) and Method Detection Limit (MDL)
What is the difference between Reporting Limit (RL) and Method Detection Limit (MDL)?
The RL is the lowest concentration standard in the calibration range of each compound
analyzed. This value is also the low limit for unqualified quantitative data.
The MDL is determined via experimentation and verified through additional testing.
This value represents the lowest concentration of each compound that can be
qualitatively identified by the method in use.

laboratory currently uses two procedures: TO-3/EPA 18, which is a gas chromatographic
method employing, in tandem, photoionization (PID) and flame ionization detectors (FID);
and TO-14/ TO-15, which is a GC/MS method.
Does Accutest supply field-sampling services?
Yes, Accutest offers field-sampling services. Learn more about our field-sampling services.
