[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 40, Volume 29] [Revised as of July 1, 2004] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 40CFR766.18] [Page 833] TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED) PART 766_DIBENZO-PARA-DIOXINS/DIBENZOFURANS--Table of Contents Subpart A_General Provisions Sec. 766.18 Method sensitivity. The target level of quantitation required under Sec. 766.27 for each HDD/HDF congener is the level which must be attempted for each resolved HRGC peak for that congener. For at least one product sample, at least two analyses of the same isotopically labeled HDD/HDF internal calibration standards spiked to a final product concentration equal to the LOQ for that congener must be reproducibly extracted, cleaned up, and quantified to within 20 percent of each other. For each spiked product sample, the signal to noise ratio for the calibration standard peaks after complete extraction and cleanup must be 10:1 or greater. The recovery of the internal calibration standards in the extracted and cleaned up product samples must be within 50 to 150 percent of the amount spiked, and the results must be corrected for recovery.
