Hi,

you mean

masterlist = {{{"AEST-01-C-10", 1, 1, 1, 2, 31, 1, C, -2.14}, 
{"AEST-01-C-10",
1, 1, 1, 4, 31, 1, C, -1.1}, {"AEST-01-C-10", 2, 2, 1, 2, 12, 2, C,
1.79}}, {{"AEST-07-E-04", 2, 1, 2, 1, 10, 2, C,
1.334}, {"AEST-07-E-04", 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 4, C, 1.997},
{"AEST-07-E-04", 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, C, -1.17}, {"AEST-07-E-04", 3, 4, 1,
1, 21, 2, C, 2.15}}}



CheckListQ[lst_] := (Length[lst] == 3 &&

 Length[Union[Sign[ Last[Transpose[lst]]]]] > 1)

And for the selection of the list (beside many other posibilities)

newlist=DeleteCases[masterlist, _?CheckListQ]

Regards
