  1. Freeze/thaw, 3 freeze (− 20 °C)/thaw cycles; one − week storage (20 °C). The initial concentrations of QC low/high samples were 1.00 ng/mL and 50.0 ng/mL, respectively. The concentration of internal standard (ISTD) 13C5–ribavirin was 50.0 ng/mL. RE, relative error; CV, coefficient of variation; RT, room temperature (20 °C)
