EPA 500 Series Standards

The EPA 500 methods are designed to identify and quantify organic compounds in municipal drinking water. This series consists of methods for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and synthetic organic compounds (SOCs). These methods are cited under the United States Safe Drinking Water Act (US-SWDA). Agilent has prepared a series of reference standards for the 500 series and US-SWDA methods, as well as the necessary surrogate and internal standards. Each component in a reference standard is pre-analyzed, with most analytes being >99% pure, and the solvents are of the highest quality available. All solutions are gravimetrically prepared to a precision of ± 2.0%. A Level II ISO Guide 34 Reference Material Certificate of Analysis is available for each product.
