TABLE 1

Between day precision and accuracy of calibration curve standards (n = 6) and four-level quality control (n = 18) standards for methamphetamine, 4-hydroxymethamphetamine, amphetamine, 4-hydroxyamphetamine, and norephedrine in monkey plasma

All CC and QC standard concentration values were presented in one decimal place except CC-8 and 9, and LQC and LLOQ which were presented in two decimal places.
