ABSTRACT
The final EPA 1633 was published in early 2024. Since then, environmental laboratories have been able to routinely analyze environmental samples in accordance with it. In this presentation, we will share the outcomes and lessons learned from a two-weeks long study in which >1,500 injections, including standards and diverse environmental samples matrices, were analyzed with minimal exceedances. We will provide a detailed evaluation of the method performance in accordance with the Quality Control parameters from EPA 1633, including chromatography, stability, and accuracy.
