Dear Mr. Perkins, 

Attached is the report associated with four (4) aqueous samples submitted for selenium 

speciation analysis on November 14, 2011. The samples were received in a sealed cooler at -

0.1°C on November 15, 2011. Selenium speciation analysis was performed via ion 

chromatography inductively coupled plasma dynamic reaction cell mass spectrometry (IC-ICPDRC-MS). Any issues associated with the analysis are addressed in the following report. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. 

 Sincerely,

Huntersville, NC 28078 

Project: HAPS/MACT Testing Belews Creek (LIMS # J11110301) 

November 20, 2011 

1. Sample Reception 

Four (4) aqueous samples in 125mL HDPE bottles (provided by Applied Speciation and 

Consulting) were submitted for selenium speciation analysis on November 14, 2011. The 

samples were received on November 15, 2011 in a sealed container at -0.1°C. 

The samples were received in a laminar flow clean hood, void of trace metals contamination 

and ultra-violet radiation, and designated a discrete sample identifier. An aliquot of each 

sample was filtered (0.45μm) and each filtrate was stored in a secure, monitored cryofreezer 

(maintained at a temperature of -80oC) until selenium speciation analysis could be performed 

via ion chromatography inductively coupled plasma dynamic reaction cell mass spectrometry 

(IC-ICP-DRC-MS). 

2. Sample Preparation 

All sample preparation is performed in laminar flow clean hoods known to be free from trace 

metals contamination. All applied water for dilutions and sample preservatives are 

monitored for contamination to account for any biases associated with the sample results. 

Selenium Speciation Analysis by IC-ICP-DRC-MS Prior to analysis, an aliquot of each 

sample was filtered with a syringe filter (0.45μm) and injected directly into a sealed 

autosampler vial. No further sample preparation was performed as any chemical alteration of 

a sample may shift the equilibrium of the system, resulting in changes in speciation ratios. 

3. Sample Analysis 

All sample analysis is preceded by a minimum of a five-point calibration curve spanning the 

entire concentration range of interest. Calibration curves are performed at the beginning of 

Analytical Lab 

Page 10 of 43
each analytical day. All calibration curves, associated with each species of interest, are 

standardized by linear regression resulting in a response factor. All sample results are 

instrument blank corrected to account for any operational biases associated with the 

analytical platform. 

Prior to sample analysis, all calibration curves are verified using second source standards 

which are identified as initial calibration verification standards (ICV). 

Ongoing instrument performance is identified by the analysis of continuing calibration 

verification standards (CCV) and continuing calibration blanks (CCB) at a minimal interval 

of every ten analytical runs. 

Selenium Speciation Analysis by IC-ICP-DRC-MS Each sample for selenium speciation 

analysis was analyzed by ion chromatography inductively coupled plasma dynamic reaction 

cell mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-DRC-MS) on November 15, 2011. An aliquot of each

sample is injected onto an anion exchange column and mobilized by a basic (pH > 7) 

gradient. The eluting selenium species are then introduced into a radio frequency (RF) 

plasma where energy-transfer processes cause desolvation, atomization, and ionization. The 

ions are extracted from the plasma through a differentially-pumped vacuum interface and 

travel through a pressurized chamber (DRC) containing a specific reactive gas which 

preferentially reacts with interfering ions of the same target mass to charge ratios (m/z). A 

solid-state detector detects ions transmitted through the mass analyzer and the resulting 

current is processed by a data handling system. 

Retention times for each eluting species are compared to known standards for species 

identification. 

4. Analytical Issues 

The overall analyses went well and no significant analytical issues were encountered. All 

quality control parameters associated with this sample were within acceptance limits.

The estimated method detection limits (eMDLs) for selenite, selenate, and selenocyanate are 

generated from replicate analyses of the lowest standard in the calibration curve. Not all 

selenium species are present in preparation blanks; therefore, eMDL calculations based on 

preparation blanks are artificially biased low. 

The eMDL for methylseleninic acid and selenomethionine is calculated from the average 

eMDL of selenite, selenate, and selenocyanate. The calibration does not contain 

methylseleninic acid or selenomethionine due to impurities in these standards which would 

bias the results for other selenium species.

RE: Project DUK-HV1101 Client Project: J11110301 

Dear Mr. Perkins, 

On November 15, 2011, Brooks Rand Labs (BRL) received two (2) wastewater samples and 

two (2) corresponding field blanks. Samples were logged-in for total mercury (Hg) analysis. All 

samples were received, prepared, analyzed, and stored according to BRL SOPs and EPA 

methodology. 

The results were blank-corrected as described in the calculations section of the applicable 

SOP(s) and may be evaluated using adjusted reporting limits to account for sample aliquot size. 

Please refer to the Sample Results page for sample-specific detection limits and other details. 

The concentration of sample BioReactor 1 Inf (1147018-01) was not detectable while the 

associated field blank BioReactor 1 Inf Hg Blk (1147018-02) had a much higher concentration. It 

was noted that the sample labeled BioReactor 1 Inf (confirmed with the client’s label) behaved 

like a blank during preparation and the sample labeled BioReactor 1 Inf Hg Blk was a darker 

color after being prepared, similar to an actual sample. 

Aside from concentration qualifiers, all data was reported without qualification and all associated 

quality control sample results met the acceptance criteria. 

BRL, an accredited laboratory, certifies the reported results of all analyses for which BRL is 

NELAP accredited meet all NELAP requirements. For more details, see the Report Information

page of the report. 

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding this report. 

Sincerely,

Common Abbreviations

These qualifiers are based on those previously utilized by Brooks Rand, Ltd., those found in the EPA SOW ILM03.0, 

Exhibit B, Section III, pg. B-18, and the USEPA Laboratory Data Validation Functional Guidelines for Evaluating Inorganic 

Analyses; USEPA; July 2002. These supersede all previous qualifiers ever employed by BRL.

B Detected by the instrument, the result is > the MDL but ≤ the MRL. Result is reported and considered an estimate.

E An estimated value due to the presence of interferences. A full explanation is presented in the narrative.

H Holding time and/or preservation requirements not met. Result is estimated.

J Estimated value. A full explanation is presented in the narrative.

J-M Duplicate precision (RPD) for associated QC sample was not within acceptance criteria. Result is estimated.

J-N Spike recovery for associated QC sample was not within acceptance criteria. Result is estimated.

M Duplicate precision (RPD) was not within acceptance criteria. Result is estimated.

N Spike recovery was not within acceptance criteria. Result is estimated.

R Rejected, unusable value. A full explanation is presented in the narrative.

U Result is ≤ the MDL or client requested reporting limit (CRRL). Result reported as the MDL or CRRL.

X Result is not BLK-corrected and is within 10x the absolute value of the highest detectable BLK in the batch. 

Result is estimated.

Field Quality Control Samples

Please be notified that certain EPA methods require the collection of field quality control samples of an appropriate type 

and frequency; failure to do so is considered a deviation from some methods and for compliance purposes should only be 

done with the approval of regulatory authorities. Please see the specific EPA methods for details regarding required field 

quality control samples.
