Okay. We haven’t paid for it yet. 

I don’t think the ? would really apply. The result was pretty high so the presence of E. coli is pretty certain. 

I’ll let Benchmark know. The chain of custody for their Palmetto location has a fresh or marine matrix column but apparently the one for North Port doesn’t. Or, well, actually it does but it’s pre-printed with an “SW” for surface water. Not helpful. 

We will report it as a No Result with an O-qualifier and an NCR.

Thanks Curtis,

Kara,

Are you asking do we pay for this or not? The answer is no, that result is not usable.

If we already paired or plan to pay, an we add the “?” qualifier?
?: Data are rejected and should not be used. Some or all of the quality control data for the analyte were outside criteria, and the presence or absence of the analyte cannot be determined from the data.

Hi Curtis, 

For this RQ, Benchmark analyzed a marine E. coli with Colilert. Marine is not listed as a matrix that can be analyzed with Colilert. Do you still want this result? It would be reported with a ‘J-qualifier’. Or, we could report as a No Result with an ‘O-qualifier’? It is field ID G1SW0120. I’ve attached the Receiving paperwork and the Benchmark report.

Thank you, 
Kara
