  1. aLimits of detection and quantitation are determined via calculations, LOD = 3.3 σ/S (SD of the residuals/slope), LOQ = 10 σ/S (SD of the residuals/slope), where σ is the standard deviation of y-intercepts of regression lines and S is the slope of the calibration curves
  2. bMean (n = 3) R% of three concentrations within the linearity ranges
  3. cIntra-day precision (n = 3), three concentrations repeated three times within the same day
  4. dInter-day precision (n = 3), three concentrations repeated three times in three successive days
  5. eMean (n = 3) R% of laboratory prepared mixtures containing IBU, PHE and its degradation products
