Table 2: Validation parameters and followed criteria.

Parameter What/How Criterion
Sensitivity/Linearity Linearity check from five levels Deviation of back - calculated concentration from true concentration (x - Residulas) ≤ 20%
LOQ Lowest spike level meeting the method performance criteria for trueness and precision -
Specificity Response in the blank samples -
Trueness Average recovery for each spike level tested 70-120%
Precision (RSDr) Repeatability for each spike level tested ≤ 20%
Precision (RSDwR) Within - laboratory reproducibility, derived from on-going method validation/verification ≤ 20%
Robustness Average recovery and RSDwR derived from on-going method validation/verification See above
