1Intermediate precision values are means ± SD of three determinations (n=3) assayed over three separate days. 2Intra-assay precision values are means ± SD of three
determinations (n=3) assayed on the same day. 3Injection precision values are means ± SD of six determinations (n=6). 4Spiked recovery method used for accuracy.
