A blank spike, as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency via its SEDD Specification Version 5.2, is "a quality control sample with known amounts of target analytes added to a blank." The EPA adds that "data potentially includes a percent recovery and an expected result for each analyte for which the analyte type is 'spike.' An interference check sample is a type of blank spike where the results for unspiked analytes are of interest."[1]
