Recovery was used to assess accuracy; mean recovery was 112%. Intra assay precision was performed at 2 levels: CV results ranged from 2.1%-23.9% (N=20 each). Inter assay precision was performed at 2 levels: CVs (N=20 each) ranged from 3.5%-95.1% where higher CVs were obtained for physiologically low analyte concentrations. The analytical measurement range is analyte dependent and ranges from 0.04 - 15µM.
