Intraday precision, accuracy, and average recovery were measured within a single day (n = 5), and interday precision and accuracy were measured on four separate days (n = 20). Five individually prepared samples were evaluated at each concentration level.
Accuracy is the percentage of the nominal value.
Precision is expressed as the percentage of the RSD of each calculated concentration.
Recovery is the percent extraction mean recovery.
