2. The non-fortified reference urine had a background level of 6.2 ng/mL BMA and no detectable level of PMA.
Three different spiked samples were prepared at each level and analyzed during three separate experimental trial runs (a total of nine samples at each spike level were analyzed). The same C18 column was used for experimental batch trials 1 and 2; a second C18 column was used on trial run 3.
