Table 1. Validation results of PPD in human urine.
MALDI MS/MS validation results | |
Linear range [µmol/L] | 50–1000 |
LLOQ ( n = 5 ) [µmol/L] | 50 (CV = 14.5%) |
Recovery (low/medium/high) | 48.7% / 48.9% / 7.7% |
Stability [% recovery] | |
RT (15 h in dark) | 98.5% |
+4°C (24 h) | 85.6% |
−20°C (1 month) | 107.9% |
MALDI-MS/MS assay: linearity, lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), recovery (at 130, 400 and 800 µmol/L) and stability after addition of formic acid.
