EPA Method 1698 Pesticide Residues in Water by LC-MS/MS: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The European Unions environmental regulations are governed by various standards, including ISO, ASTM, EN, and TSE. These standards dictate the requirements for laboratory testing services, such as EPA Method 1698 Pesticide Residues in Water by LC-MS/MS.

ISO Standards

  • ISO 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ISO 17020: General criteria for the competence of forensic testing laboratories

    • ASTM Standards

  • ASTM E2850-11: Standard Test Method for Determination of Pesticide Residues in Water by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

    • EN Standards

  • EN 14502-1:2006: Water quality - Detection and determination of pesticide residues in water by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

    • TSE Standards

  • TSE 2023: Turkish Standard for the Determination of Pesticide Residues in Water by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standards development organizations, such as ISO and ASTM, play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining standards for laboratory testing services. These organizations collaborate with industry experts to develop standards that meet the needs of various industries.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time due to advances in technology, changes in regulations, or new research findings. It is essential for laboratories to stay up-to-date with the latest standards and revisions to ensure compliance and accuracy.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    Some relevant standard numbers and their scope are:

  • ISO 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

    2. Instrumentation: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS)

    3. Data Analysis: Software packages for data analysis and quantification of pesticide residues

    Data Interpretation

    Accurate interpretation of results requires:

  • Familiarity with the test method: Understanding of EPA Method 1698 Pesticide Residues in Water by LC-MS/MS

  • Knowledge of instrumentation: Familiarity with HPLC and MS equipment

  • Experience with data analysis software: Skill with software packages for data interpretation

    • Quality Control Measures

    Eurolabs quality control measures ensure:

  • Regular Instrument Calibration: Ensures accuracy and reliability of results

  • Sample Handling Procedures: Minimizes contamination risk

  • Data Collection and Recording: Efficient reporting through accurate data collection and recording
