General description: | TPH in Water (high level) proficiency testing material is produced in accordance with ISO/IEC 17043:2010. This product is also referred to as non-Potable water or Water Pollution sample. Our PT portfolio allows our test components to offer significant performance data to monitor and prove competency to customers, accreditation bodies or both. Supelco® is a global proficiency testing (PT) provider that manufactures best-in-class environmental and pharmaceutical PT products. Most water PT samples are available as concentrates or ready-to-use volumes giving the end-user flexibility in selecting samples that will fit their exact needs. Our WP program is designed to meet the quality assurance requirements, thereby ensuring the analytical competence of your laboratory. These samples are typically provided in duplicate for use in case of lab mishap, for QC purposes or to analyze multiple methods. Type of PT Scheme: Water Analysis - Water Pollution (WP) Matrix: Water Pollution /Wastewater Analyte/s: Values of analytes vary lot to lot.

Preparation Note: | Description • This vial contains a concentrate of a blended gasoline from three different sources and diesel fuel oil No. 2 in pentane for analysis by TNRCC Method 1005. • When prepared according to instructions, the concentration of each analyte will be less than 100 mg/L. • The pack-size on this sample has recently changed from 2 mL to 1.2 mL. This change does not affect the performance of the proficiency test. Sample Preparation • To prepare the solution, fill a 40 mL VOA vial to volume with carbon-filtered reagent-grade water at room temperature. • Remove enough water to allow for the addition of extraction solvent. • Open vial PE1619-1.2ML and immediately withdraw 40 μL with a gas-tight syringe. • Quickly inject the 40 μL aliquot below the surface of the reagent water in the VOA vial. • Add the extraction fluid. • Mix the sample by inverting the flask three times only (excessive shaking results in loss of volatiles) and analyze immediately. • Assume a 40 mL sample for calculation purposes. Note this is a 1:1000 dilution and other dilutions are acceptable. |
Storage and Stability: | Please refer to sample label for expiration date, specific storage temperature and specific storage conditions. |
