LOD*, Limit of detection x10−3, S/N = 3; LOQ*, Limit of quantification x10−3, S/N = 10; QC1, 5 ng/mL; QC2, 2, 50 ng/mL; No IS, results obtained with calibration curves constructed by linear regression analysis of the analyte area vs. the concentration of analytes injected; With IS, results obtained with calibration curves constructed by linear regression analysis of the ratio of the analyte area to the IS area vs. the concentration of analytes injected.
