SELECTION OF ANALYTICAL METHODS
Often
samples will be sent to an analytical laboratory but you need to know what the methods are, the Method
Detection Limit (MDL) [also called Limit Of Quantitation (LOQ)], deficiencies and the sample size required.
• Then the $$ need to be
considered…
• If you are doing the analyses yourself
then
the number of hours to
carry out the analyses needs to be
considered.
• If you can afford it the full Sampling
Protocol is then mapped out.
