This range may beextended upward by dilution of an appropriate aliquot ofsample or by use of the less-sensitive 330.2-nm resonance line(see Test Method D 3561). Many workers have found that thistest method is reliable for

34、s of sodium that bracket the expected sampleconcentration, prior to analysis of samples, to calibrate theinstrument. The calibration correlation coefficient shall beequal to or greater than 0.990. In addition to the initialcalibration blank, a calibration blank shall be analyzed at theend of the bat

35、ch run to ensure contamination was not a problemduring the batch analysis.14.2.2 Verify instrument calibration after standardization byanalyzing a standard at the concentration of one of thecalibration standards. The concentration of a mid-range stan-dard should fall within 615 % of the known concen

36、tration.14.2.3 If calibration cannot be verified, recalibrate theinstrument.14.3 Initial Demonstration of Laboratory Capability:14.3.1 If a laboratory has not performed the test before, or ifthere has been a major change in the measurement system, forexample, new analyst, new instrument, etc., a pre

37、cision andbias study must be performed to demonstrate laboratorycapability.14.3.2 Analyze seven replicates of a standard solutionprepared from an Independent Reference Material containing amid-range concentration of sodium. The matrix and chemistryof the solution should be equivalent to the solution

38、 used in thecollaborative study. Each replicate must be taken through thecomplete analytical test method including any sample preser-vation and pretreatment steps.14.3.3 Calculate the mean and standard deviation of theseven values and compare to the acceptable ranges of bias inTable 1.

40、y Control Sample (LCS):14.4.1 To ensure that the test method is in control, analyzea LCS containing a known concentration of sodium with eachbatch or 10 samples. If large numbers of samples are analyzedin the batch, analyze the LCS after every 10 samples. Thelaboratory control samples for a large ba

41、tch should cover theanalytical range when possible. The LCS must be takenthrough all of the steps of the analytical method includingsample preservation and pretreatment. The result obtained fora mid-range LCS shall fall within 615 % of the knownconcentration.14.4.2 If the result is not within these

42、limits, analysis ofsamples is halted until the problem is corrected, and either allthe samples in the batch must be reanalyzed, or the results mustbe qualified with an indication that they do not fall within theperformance criteria of the test method.14.5 Method Blank:14.5.1 Analyze a reagent water

43、test blank with each batch.The concentration of sodium found in the blank should be lessthan 0.5 times the lowest calibration standard. If the concen-tration of sodium is found above this level, analysis of samplesis halted until the contamination is eliminated, and a blankshows no contamination at

44、or above this level, or the resultsmust be qualified with an indication that they do not fall withinthe performance criteria of the test method.14.6 Matrix Spike (MS):14.6.1 To check for interferences in the specific matrixbeing tested, perform a MS on at least one sample from eachbatch by spiking a

45、n aliquot of the sample with a knownconcentration of sodium and taking it through the analyticalmethod.14.6.2 The spike concentration plus the background concen-tration of sodium must not exceed the high calibration stan-dard. The spike must produce a concentration in the spikedsample that is 2 to 5

46、 times the analyte concentration in theunspiked sample, or 10 to 50 times the detection limit of thetest method, whichever is greater.14.6.3 Calculate the percent recovery of the spike (P) usingthe following formula:P 5 100 AVs1 V! 2 BVs# / CV (1)where:A = analyte concentration (mg/L) in spiked samp

48、 in GuideD 5810, Table 1. If the percent recovery is not within theselimits, a matrix interference may be present in the sampleselected for spiking. Under these circumstances, one of thefollowing remedies must be employed: the matrix interferencemust be removed, all samples in the batch must be anal

49、yzed bya test method not affected by the matrix interference, or theresults must be qualified with an indication that they do not fallwithin the performance criteria of the test method.NOTE 4Acceptable spike recoveries are dependent on the concentra-tion of the component of interest. See Guide D 5810 for additionalinformation.14.7 Duplicate:14.7.1 To check the precision of sample analyses, analyze asample in duplicate with each batch.
