PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

Measuring range : From detection limit of 3.7 mg/dL to linearity limit

of 1000 mg/dL.
If the results obtained were greater than linearity limit, dilute the
sample 1/2 with NaCl 9 g/L and multiply the result by 2.

Precision:

reagents. (x).
The results obtained using 92 samples were the following.
Correction coefficient (r) : 0.996.
Regression equation : y =4.6+0.940x.
The results of the performance characteriatics depend on the
