Description:

This plan provides a detailed design and description of the demonstration and evaluation program for the Westinghouse Bio-Analytic Systems immunoassay technologies specific for the analysis of pentachlorophenol. he immunoassays measure parts per billion concentrations of pentachlorophenol in water. his demonstration is being conducted under the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program. t is expected that proper execution of this demonstration plan will provide information that enables data users and reviewers to assess the performance of the technology in terms of its usefulness and limitations for the Superfund Program. he main focus of this demonstration is to evaluate on site a semiquantitative immunoassay field analysis kit for its utility as a rapid field screening tool. he results obtained from the field kit analyses will be compared to those obtained from a quantitative high-sample-capacity plate immunoassay also developed by Westinghouse Bio-Analytic Systems. n addition, both immunoassay techniques will be compared to the standard gas chromatography/mass spectrometry procedure for pentachlorophenol determination. he demonstration plan provides the sampling plan and analysis design specific to the immunoassay technologies demonstration, including testing duration, test site description logistical and equipment considerations, communications between analysis and management locations, sample collection and handling protocols, sample identification and tracking systems, and chain-of-custody and sample shipping procedures. he quality assurance plan for this demonstration is provided in an appendix.
