Deficient Reporting |
Total zinc for EFF-001 was not analyzed due to internal laboratory issues. As stated by the lab, the instrument used for the sample analysis required repairs by the instrument manufacturer, which resulted in downtime and delay. In addition, there were issues during sample preparation resulting in low levels of background zinc contamination. Because of these compounding problems, total zinc was not able to be reported for sample EFF-001 Composite. The sample was digested several times, as well as used for the matrix spike, resulting in the entire sample volume being consumed. We were not able to redigest it once the repairs and contamination issues were sorted out. |
No corrective action was taken. |
