Laboratory Quality
Assurance Evaluation Program for Analysis of Cryptosporidium under the Safe Drinking Water Act
The purpose of this Laboratory Quality Assurance Program is to maintain a list of laboratories that can reliably measure the occurrence of Cryptosporidium in surface water using EPA Method 1622 and/or EPA Method 1623. Participating laboratories continue to demonstrate proficiency with experienced personnel who have successfully demonstrated their capability.
As of May 2007, EPA estimates that sufficient laboratory capacity exists for the LT2. EPA has generally postponed evaluation of additional laboratories, including commercial, county, municipal and utility laboratories, until further notice. EPA will consider evaluation of State and EPA Regional laboratories on a case-by-case basis, resources permitting, based on the role that States and EPA Regions play in the certification and approval programs for laboratories.
