Glossary
| Analysis | The specific analytical procedure used to identify/quantify the pesticide. (Format: instrument technique/detection mode) |
| Analysis: detection modes |
ECD - Electron Capture Detector ELCD - Electrochemical Detector Con - Conductivity Detector FID - Flame Ionization Detector FLD - Fluorescence Detector FPD - Flame Photometric Detector FPD (S or P) - Flame Photometric Detector (Sulfur or Phosphorus Mode) GFAA - Graphite Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer HALL - Hall Electrolytic Conductivity Detector MS - Mass Spectrometer MS (NCl) - Mass Spectrometer (Negative Chemical Ionization Mode) NPD - Nitrogen Phosphorus Detector NST - Nitrogen Selective Thermionic Detector PCD - Photoconductivity Detector RADI - Radioassay RIS - Radiographic Imaging System SPEC -Spectrophotometer TSD - Thermionic Specific Detector UV - Ultraviolet Absorption Detector XSD - Halogen Specific Detector |
| Analysis: instrument techniques |
AA - Atomic Absorption CE - Capillary Electrophoresis Col.switch - Column Switching Technique GC - Gas Chromatograph HPLC - High Performance Liquid Chromatograph HPTLC - High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography IC - Ion Chromatograph Immunoassay - Immunoassay Kit LSC - Liquid Scintillation Counter TLC - Thin Layer Chromatography UV SPEC - Ultraviolet Spectrophotometer Wet - Wet Chemistry |
| Commodity | Food, feed or animal commodity that the pesticide or metabolite was tested on. |
| Detection Limit | Smallest amount of chemical that can be detected. |
| Detection Limit (LOQ) | Limit of quantization (LOQ) is the smallest amount of chemical that can be reliably quantitated. The reported limit is provided by the company (registrant) who submitted the pesticide for registration or reregistration. |
| EPA Validated? | Was the method tested at a EPA laboratory? Answer: Yes or No |
| Instrument | See "Analysis" above. |
| Matrix | Type of sample the method is designed to test., i.e.
soil water and sediment or: EUP - End Use Product MUP - Manufacturing Use Product PAI - Pure Active Ingredient T - Technical Grade of Active Ingredient |
| Method Date | Date the registrant or company completed the method.(Not available if N/A) |
| Method ID | Identifier that the company gave the analytical method. |
| Method Source | Company that authored the analytical method. |
| Pesticide Name or Pesticide or Metabolite (M) Common Name |
The official common name of the active ingredient and/or metabolite. |
| Registrant Name | The specific business entity responsible for the active ingredient registration. |
