Prepared sample in autosampler at 4°C, 24 hr | 96.5 ± 3.3 | 92.6 ± 3.5 | 114 ± 3 | 95.9 ± 3.1 |
Plasma at room temperature, 2 hr | 93.8 ± 2.6 | 89.3 ± 3.4 | 109 ± 38 | 89.1 ± 3.8 |
Plasma following three freeze-thaw cycles | 89.8 ± 0.9 | 96.1 ± 4.0 | 92.8 ± 12.4 | 90.9 ± 2.2 |
Plasma stored at −80°C, 50 days | 90.8 ± 1.6 | 91.7 ± 0.6 | 92.4 ± 0.2 | 90.6 ± 1.0 |
Accuracy (%) was calculated as the percentage of the determined concentration after the respective treatment to the theoretical concentration. Shown are mean ± SD.
