Meeting regulations in any industry, standards are essential for periodically checking the accuracy of equipment pieces. By comparing against the known values, output readings detect errors present and inform personnel adjustments are required. Once the settings of the manual or automatic instruments have returned to zero, the reestablished conditions will yield optimal working performance. Calibrating with concentrated standards eliminates the possibility that environmental changes will induce instrumental miscalculation when accuracy matters most.
Balance Mix, Option A
Supplier: SPEX CERTIPREP LLC
Semivolatiles, US EPA method 8270 is a general analytical method for the monitoring of semivolatiles in environmental and waste samples by GC/MS. CLP series methods: The US EPA retains analytical services through the Contract Laboratory Program (CLP). The CLP follows detailed SOPs derived from EPA methods and SW-846. The CLP volatile organic analysis method is an analytical method for the analysis of aqueous or solid samples for VOCs by GC/MS.

ICP-MS Interferents B3 without Mercury, 2 µg/ml (2 ppm), SPEX CertiPrep
Supplier: SPEX CERTIPREP LLC
CLP Standards for ICP & ICP-MS
Our Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) standards allow you to Calibrate with Confidence®. The standards are to be used in conjunction with the Statement of Work for Inorganic Analysis; Multi-Media/Multi-Concentration Document Number ILM 05.3/ISM 01.2.
The final ICP check, performed in our own laboratories, is your stamp of assurance. We calibrate our instruments with traceable reference materials and show you the actual found value of the solution you receive, not just an ideal, calculated number as so many other standards manufacturers do. The combination of elements, concentrations and matrices listed have been diagnosed by SPEX CertiPrep for convenience of use and stability.
US EPA SOW ILM 05.3/ISM 01.2 gives specific procedures for the methods of analysis, target elements, and concentrationlevels. Standards are specified not only by the elements present and their relative concentrations, but also the order and frequency of running standards, blanks and samples. Details of these specifications may be found in the US EPA SOW ILM 05.3/ISM 01.2 in the following sections:
• Exhibit C, Inorganic Target Analyte List (TAL)
• Exhibit D, Analytical Methods
• Exhibit E, QA/QC Requirements
CLP ISM 01.2 and ILM 05.2 & 05.3 Standards for ICP-MS
For verification of inter-element and background correction factors at the beginning and the end of each analysis run. In addition, a verification must be done after every 20th sample. Two solutions are required for the most common interference check: Solution A, the interferents alone (CL-INT-A2) and Solution AB, a combination of interferents (CL-INT-A2) and analytes (CL-INT-B3 or CL-INT-B4). Solution A is prepared by diluting CL-INT-A2 10-fold. Solution AB is prepared by diluting CL-INT-A2 10-fold and CL-INT-B3 or CL- INT-B4 100-fold; for example, 10 ml of CL-INT-A2 and 1 ml of CL-INT-B3 or CL-INT-B4 into a 100 ml volumetric flask, brought to volume with a matrix blank. Once prepared, the solutions should be analyzed consecutively, starting with Solution A.

Performance Check Solution for US EPA Method 508, SPEX CertiPrep
Supplier: SPEX CERTIPREP LLC
Pesticides, PCBs and Herbicides
The EPA is tasked with the monitoring of environmental systems as they pertain to contamination and human health. The methods issued by the EPA are created to respond to specific toxins or persistent organic pollutants (POPs) found in environmental samples such as soil, source water, drinking water, and waste. In particular, pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which were in widespread industrial use up until their restriction, are of concern due to their stable and persistent nature in the environment. Another group of chemicals of high concern is the hundreds of commercial pesticides and herbicides in use in the world today. Pesticides, from algaecides to virucides, are used in large quantities in industrial and private agriculture. The concern over human pesticide exposure over the past few decades has led to extensive monitoring of these pesticides. It has been reported that over 98% of insecticides and 95% of herbicides affect areas other than their intended target product. It is essential that monitoring agencies have accurate standard mixes to measure the pesticide levels in the environment.
Many new pesticides are now being tested using highly sensitive LC/MS techniques, in addition to traditional GC techniques, to determine minute amounts of residue in environmental samples and food products.
At SPEX CertiPrep, we facilitate ease of monitoring and testing of pesticides by creating pesticide test mixes to suit your monitoring needs. SPEX CertiPrep is the leader in offering pesticide standards designed to work within EPA, AOAC and FDA analytical testing methods using all of the leading analytical techniques: LC, LC/MS, GC, and GC/MS. Many pesticide standard mixes are readily available in our catalog along with a large list of single pesticide standards. In addition, custom pesticide mixes can be made to your specifications to create a mix that meets your needs.

Petroleum and LUST Standards
The EPA regulates the monitoring and testing of underground storage tanks (USTs), that were or are used to store petroleum or other hazardous substances, which could impact the environment and human health. Currently, there are over half a million registered underground storage tanks in the US alone. Many tanks installed prior to the mid-80s were composed of steel, which can corrode over time allowing for leakage into the surrounding groundwater and soil.
The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), passed in 1984, required the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop regulations for the underground storage of motor fuels. The EPA requires owners and operators of USTs to maintain and clean up sites damaged by petroleum contamination.
SPEX CertiPrep provides standards designed to meet the testing requirements set up by the EPA and many individual state regulations for LUST and LUFT.
