A preparation batch, as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency via its SEDD Specification Version 5.2, is "a laboratory-defined identifier that is used to link multiple sample aliquots that are prepared together for analysis by one method. 'Together' implies similarity of time, place, and manner of preparation."[1]
