Question/Comment-1

Line 17 Applicability

Considering that clinical results will be expressed in mg of total egg protein, the results of the assays should be in total chicken egg protein.

Question/Comment-2

Line 18 "food products"

If this will be linked with Table 2 then it might be better to put food matrices.

Question/Comment-3

Line 42 Limit of Quantitation

Considering this is for egg should we be more specific in our definition? ...concentration or mass of total egg protein in a given matrix...

Question/Comment-4

Line 50 Limit of Detection

Same as LOQ. Be more specific to total egg protein

Question/Comment-5

Line 76 Whole Egg

We should be clear on how this whole egg definition, which comes from a food inspection service will carry over to the reporting units of total egg protein.

Question/Comment-6

Line 84 System suitability

Appendix M is clear about what the testing levels should be.
