Toxaphene methodology validation / by B.F. Scott and J.F. Ryan.: En13-5/86-97E-PDF

"This report contains the results of an interlaboratory comparison of the measurement of toxaphene in fish tissue. Included are the results for standard solutions and spiked standard solutions which provide an estimate of the laboratories’ quantitation capabilities and the results from homogenized fish pastes. These results, from a fewer number of laboratories than originally enlisted, show that there is some variation between laboratories, but the results are of the same order of magnitude and usually within a factor of two. The coefficient of variation ranges between 8 and 36% at concentrations between 200 and 1500 ng/g. This implies that the methodologies can be used for comparisons and trends from one lab should be the same as from the others"--Abstract.
