Glossary of Terms 

3⁄4 MDL represents the Minimum Detection Limit below which the laboratory cannot 

confirm the presence of the analyte to the 95% confidence level. 

3⁄4 RDL represents the Reportable Detection Limit and is usually set at a value 

equivalent to the lowest calibration standard. 

3⁄4 Acceptance Criteria are values used by the laboratory to determine that a process 

is in control. 

3⁄4 Accuracy is the degree of agreement of a measured value with the true or expected 

value. 

3⁄4 Calibration Standards are a set of solutions containing the analytes of interest at a 

specified concentration. 

3⁄4 Calibration Verification Standard consists of a calibration standard solution of 

intermediate concentration (mid-point initial calibration level) used to access 

whether the initial calibration is still valid

3⁄4 Certified Reference Material is a stable homogenous material that is certified by 

repetitive analysis from a supplier who is certified to generate said materials.

3⁄4 Internal Standard a deuterated or 13C-labelled analyte that is added to a sample 

extract prior to instrumental analysis to compensate for injection variablity.

3⁄4 Isomer is a member of a group of compounds that differ from each other only in 

the locations of a specific number of common substituent atoms or groups of atoms 

on the parent compound.

3⁄4 Method Blank is a laboratory control sample using reagents that are known to be 

free of contamination.

3⁄4 Precision is the degree of agreement between the data generated from repetitive 

measurements under specific conditions.

3⁄4 Quality Assurance is a system of activities whose purpose is to provide the 

producer or user of a product with the assurance that the product meets a defined 

standard of quality.

3⁄4 Quality Control is the overall system of activities whose purpose is to control the 

quality of a product so that it meets the needs of the end user.

3⁄4 RSD is the relative standard deviation.

3⁄4 Blank Spike is a laboratory control sample that has been fortified with native 

analytes of interest.

3⁄4 Window Definng Mixture is a solution containing only the earliest and latest 

eluting congeners within each homologous group of target analytes on a specified 

GC column.

3⁄4 RPD or Relative Percent Difference. A measure used to compare duplicate sample 

analysis.

3⁄4 EMPC/NDR – Peak detected does not meet ratio criteria and has resulted in a 

higher detection limit.

Run Date is defined as the date of injection of the last calibration standard (12 hours or less) prior to the samples analyzed within that run 

sequence. Therefore the time of calibration injection that defines the run date is always within 12 hours of the time of sample injection.

Duplicate: Paired analysis of a separate portion of the same sample. Used to evaluate the variance in the measurement.

Matrix Spike: A sample to which a known amount of the analyte of interest has been added. Used to evaluate sample matrix interference.

Spiked Blank: A blank matrix to which a known amount of the analyte has been added. Used to evaluate analyte recovery.

Method Blank: A blank matrix containing all reagents used in the analytical procedure. Used to identify laboratory contamination.

NC (RPD): The RPD was not calculated. The level of analyte detected in the parent sample and its duplicate was not sufficiently significant to permit a

reliable calculation.
