Parameter:
Intra-assay Precision
Three HepG2 cell samples were assayed in replicates of 20 to determine precision within an assay (CV = Coefficient of Variation).
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (nmol/mL) | 2.60 | 34.50 | 88.50 |
| %CV | 3.6 | 3.2 | 3.1 |
Inter-assay Precision
Three HepG2 cell samples were assayed 20 times in duplicate by three operators to determine precision between assays.
| Parameters | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 |
| Mean (nmol/mL) | 2.60 | 34.50 | 88.50 |
| %CV | 3.1 | 3.8 | 3.6 |
Recovery
Take three samples of high concentration, middle concentration and low concentration to test the samples of each concentration for 6 times parallelly to get the average recovery rate of 95%.
| Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | |
| Expected Conc. (nmol/mL) | 12 | 49 | 91 |
| Observed Conc. (nmol/mL) | 11.2 | 48.0 | 85.5 |
| Recovery rate (%) | 93 | 98 | 94 |
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 0.29 nmol/mL MDA. This was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean O.D. obtained when the zero standard was assayed 20 times, and calculating the corresponding concentration.
