Summary and conclusions:

The validation of the method has shown satisfactory specificity for the tested ma- trices. The calibration curves is linear for carnitine and they both going through the zero point (0;0). The precision experiments showed an acceptable RSD%, which was set to 5 %. The comparison between ‘this method’ and the values on the certified reference materials showed no significant differences. It is therefore concluded that ‘this method’ provides accurate results. Finally, ‘this method’ showed good robustness against the tested parameters. In general, we believe that the validation has been satisfactory.
