Units = µg analyte per sample Note: For a few of the compounds in this method the LOQ values, when compared to the preceding method development results, may appear higher. This can be explained by the fact that in the initial method development no recovery study was conducted at a level near or above the instrumentally determined LOQ recoveries for each analyte.
