Abbreviations:HQC, high concentration quality control; LLOQ, lower limit of quantification; LQC, low concentration quality control; MQC, medium concentration quality control.
Relative standard deviation (RSD%) = (standard deviation [SD]/mean of obtained concentration) × 100.
Relative error (RE%) = ([measured concentration−nominal concentration]/nominal concentration) × 100.
