K. System suitability

The chromatographic system should be equilibrated before starting a series of analysis. Check if the column backpressure and the signal baseline are stable. Start a series with a set of six injections with a continuing calibration verification (CCV) standard followed by a system blank and the calibration standards (T0-T6). The used solution for the CCV is calibration standard 3. The taurine peak of the CCV should elute at a retention time of 4,05±0,25 minutes with a peak asymmetry of 1,0±0,4. In the system blank no taurine or taurine-IS should be detected .

L.

Quality control

After the calibration standards start with a CCV and reinject after every ten analyzed samples. The recovery of the CCV should be between 95-105%. The ion ratio between the taurine qualifier ion and the taurine quantifier ion is determined. The ion ratio of a sample is allowed to deviate 15% from the average of the standards.

M. Calibration and calculation a. A weighted calibration line is established every analysis. The calibration line is analyzed before the analysis of samples and is based on six concentrations. A linear weighted model with offset is used. The accuracy of the line is checked every ten samples with the CCV. The instrument software is used to plot the calibration line where the correct peak area
