Table 6. Representative chromatograms of tested SPIFAN matrices Matrix SPIFAN Code The data presented in this paper were submitted to the AOAC Expert Review Panel (ERP) for review at the AOAC Mid-Year Meeting held on March 16, 2016. The ERP determined that the Specificity . — Chromatograms from all of the SPIFAN matrixes helped to establish the specificity of this method for biotin. See Table 6 for representative chromatograms of tested SPIFAN matrixes. Ruggedness . — Several parameters were varied during validation to establish method ruggedness. Samples were prepared by three analysts and analyzed with C18 columns from four different lots. Fresh mobile phase, postcolumn reagents, intermediate standards, and working standards were made daily and used during validation. Conclusions
