The performance parameters of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) measurements were assessed for the first time by a multi-laboratory validation study among 13 laboratories. Two chromatographic techniques (GC and HPLC) and two quantification methods such as external and internal standard (ESTD/ISTD) were combined in three different methodologies GC/ESTD, HPLC/ESTD and GC/ISTD. Linearity evaluation of the calibration functions in a wide concentration range (10–1000 mg/L) was carried out using different statistical parameters for the goodness of fit. Both chromatographic techniques were considered similarly accurate. The use of GC/ISTD, despite showing similar analytical performance to the other methodologies, can be considered useful for the harmonization of VFAs analytical methodology taking into account the normalization of slope values used for the calculation of VFAs concentrations. Acceptance criteria for VFAs performance parameters of the multi-laboratory validation study should be established as follows: (1) instrument precision (RSDINST ≤ 1.5%); (2) linearity (R2 ≥ 0.998; RSDSENSITIVITY ≤ 4%; REMAX ≤ 8%; REAVER ≤ 3%); (3) precision (RSD ≤ 1.5%); (4) trueness (recovery of 97–103%); (5) LOD (≤3 mg/L); and (6) LOQ (10 mg/L).
The participating research laboratories are acknowledged for their interest to harmonize the analytical performance of VFAs measurements, including environmental biotechnology laboratory (LBE) of EPFL – Environmental Engineering Institute (Lausanne, Switzerland) managed by Dr. Christof Holliger. In addition, all the individual analysts who participated with carrying out the chromatographic analyses are recognized as very important contributors for this interlaboratory work. Without their contribution and excellent work none of the results reported could have been obtained.
