Table 1: Investigated linear range, LOD, LOQ, and MDL for target analytes in fish
muscle tissuea.
aclean tissues employed in the determination of these parameters were extracted
using a 1:1 mixture of 0.1 M acetic acid (pH 4) and methanol. bLOD, calculated as3
times the standard deviation in the background signal observed for the replicate
analysis of a tissue blank. cLOQ, calculated as 10 times the standard deviation in
the background signal observed for the replicate analysis of a tissue blank, d MDL,
determined by multiplying the one-sided Student’s t–statistics at 99% confidence
limit times the standard deviation observed for eight replicate analyses of a matrix
spike (spiking level ≤ 10 x MDL). (SOURCE Reproduced with permission from
