| qrcode |
Quality rating code; A code indicating the relative quality of the sample; Possible values are:
| Flag | Description |
|---|
| A | Samples of the highest quality did not contain anything but water, all protocols were followed, and there is no indication of compromised integrity of the sample. |
| B | Samples of unknown quality may contain contaminants such as plant matter or insects, or are potentially contaminated due to handling errors. |
| C | Samples of the lowest quality are either of undefined duration, contain bird droppings, or have some other indication of compromised quality |
|
| labtype |
Lab Type; A code indicating the condition of the sample upon arrival at the CAL; The possible values are:
| Flag | Description |
|---|
| W | Sample volume of 35 mL or more |
| WI | Sample volume of 10 - 35 mL; chemical measurements are made as volume permits in the following order: pH, Conductance, {NH4, PO4}, {Cl, NO3, SO4}, and {Ca, Mg, Na, K}. |
| D | Sample volume of 0 - 10 mL. Sample was not shipped. |
|
| sp |
Sample protocol code. A code indicating departures from standard sample collection procedures that may have compromised sample integrity; The possible values are:
| Flag | Description |
|---|
| (blank) | No identifiable departures |
| U | Undefined sample type |
| Q | Quality assurance sample |
|
| sl |
Sample level code. A code indicating departures from field or laboratory standard operating procedures; The possible values are:

|---|
| (blank) | No identifiable departures |
| C | Contaminated sample |
| E | Long-duration sample |
| F | Field error |
| L | Laboratory error |
| M | Missing sampling information |
