Table 3.

Retention time (RT), percent retention time difference (%RTD, as defined by Equation 1), retention time difference (RTD, defined as the difference between a compound and the one listed below), and retention index (RI) for a subset of the frequently seen compounds analyzed by the targeted method. Retention times and indices are the average of three replicates of an approximately 100 μg mL−1 solution. Uncertainties represent the standard deviation of three replicates.
