Application: | PCB Congeners in Soil - PT (PT PCB) is a soils/hazardous waste proficiency testing material, suitable for testing the concentration of organochlorine pesticide polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in soil samples. Our soil PT samples behave as real samples; and, unless there is no alternative, are not simply spikes added to a blank soil. They are designed to meet the requirements of national, regional and state-specific accreditation bodies (TNI, USEPA, UKAS) for quality assurance and continuous improvement. Have any questions?

Features and Benefits: | We have a vast portfolio of environmental PT schemes with "fit-for-purpose" samples to help you meet the needs of the laboratory. Our proficiency testing (PT) program is a benchmark to: • provide staff with an insight into their laboratory′s performance, to verify the accuracy and reliability of their testing process • provide a comparison of performance with that of other laboratories, nationally and internationally • test and educate staff, provide a better understanding of the impact of incorrect results and identify areas where there may be problems • provide an independent evaluation of laboratory performance • demonstrate to clients, colleagues and accreditation bodies that there is a commitment to quality |

Preparation Note: | Description • The PT sample size provided is 50 g of soil. • The soil has been sterilized to minimize degradation of the sample. • The PT sample has been sized to 100 mesh. • The sample has been intentionally prepared with an apparent headspace. Sample Preparation • Mix prior to use. • Recommended minimum sampling size is 1 g. • Analyze the sample using the preparatory and determinative method(s) for which you are seeking accreditation. Note: Sample extracts and calibration solutions should be in the same solvent. • Report on a dry weight basis. |
Storage and Stability: | Please refer to sample label for expiration date, specific storage temperature, and specific storage conditions. |
