Table 7.

Qualification precision results. Assay precision was assessed via the coefficient of variation (CV) for samples with net mean responses ≥0.1%. Values are averaged over animal and peptide pool. All 4 CVs were evaluated, but only day and vial were used for qualification pass/fail. Pass if: for samples with mean response %<0.2, CV must be≤70%; for all other samples, CV≤35%.
