Table 1.

Lower and upper limits of quantitation (LLOQ and ULOQ) and extraction recovery. For the LLOQ, the accuracy had to be within 80–120% with less than 20% imprecision and the signal had to be at least five-fold higher than that of a blank sample. Recovery was determined in samples collected from 6 different individuals at 3 different levels for each analyte. Mean recoveries ± standard deviation (SD) are shown.
