Study No. NWBS0O-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 Quantitative Determination of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and VI570 in Human Serum by LC/MS/MS Assay Revalidation Report 1. INTRODUCTION Northwest Bioanalytical (NWB) was contracted by 3M Environmental Technology and Services to develop and validate a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method for the measurement of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA), N-ethyl perfluorooctanesulfonamidoacetate (PFOSAA), perfluorooctanoate (POAA), perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), perfluorooctanesulfonamidoacetate (M556) and N-methyl perfluorooctanesulfonamido acetate (M570) in human serum. The reference material purity for PFOS, PFOSA, PFHS and POAA was not available prior to the conduct of this study. Therefore, all concentrations included in the report for these analytes are based upon an assumed purity of 100%. After the validation was completed, 3M contracted with Centre Analytical Laboratories, Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania to determine the absolute concentration o f PFOS, POAA and PFHS in the stock solutions used to prepare the analytical standards and controls used for this validation and subsequent analyses. Based on the results obtained, the concentrations included in this report should be corrected according to the following table: ' ; Analyte PFOS POAA PFHS Correction Factor 0.836 0.909 0.855 Page 8 000108 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBSOO-O40 Report No. NWBROO-108 This report summarizes the accuracy, precision and the Northern Chinese plasma extraction efficiency results from the validation of the method for the quantitation of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 in human serum for 3M Environmental Technology and Services. Stability results will be reported in a separate addendum report. Kris Hansen at 3M Environmental Technology and Services served as the Study Monitor. The following is a list of NWB supervisory personnel involved in the completion of this work: Connie O. Sakashita, B.S. (NWB Project Manager); Brad I. Coopersmith, Ph.D. (NWB Senior Scientist); Licong Jiang, Ph.D. (NWB Senior Scientist); Patrick Bennett, M.S., M.B.A. (NWB Laboratory Director); Rodger Foltz, Ph.D. (NWB Technical Director). NWB SOPs were used in the conduct of this project and were available to project personnel in both electronic and hard copy formats. Date Study Initiated: April 13,2000 Date Analyses Completed: July 16, 2000 The method validation study described in this report is not included within the definition of a GLP regulated nonclinical study. However, Northwest Bioanalytical conducts all studies within the guidelines of the U.S. FDA Good Laboratory Practice Regulations for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies (Title 21 CFR Part 58), the OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice and the Japanese MHW Good Laboratory Practice Standard Ordinance for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies on the Safety of Drugs (Ordinance No. 21, PAB Notification No. 424). Any changes to or deviations from the original protocol (Analytical Plan) were documented through approved protocol amendments or deviation memos and are retained within the raw data. : Principles of the Method The newly developed method is a modification of a previous method developed under study NWBS98-082 and reported in NWB report NWBR99-005 [5.1]. The new method was developed to provide improved accuracy, precision and ruggedness using less sample volume, and to add M556 and M570 to the method. Page 9 000109 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBS0O-040 Report No. NWBR00-108 The analytical method consisted of a liquidiliquid extraction procedure followed by evaporation and reconstitution of the extract residue with 30:70 20 mM ammonium acetate in water: 20 mM ammonium acetate in methanol (v/v). The samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry using a PE Sciex API 3000. The instrument was operated in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode under optimized conditions for PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 detection. 2. VALIDATION SUMMARY Three separate analytical runs were used in the determination of linearity, precision, and accuracy. An additional run was used to determine intra-assay precision and accuracy for PFOSA and PFOSAA. The extraction efficiencies for all analytes and the internal standard lH,lH,2H,2H-perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (THPFOS) were also determined. 2.1. Persistent Levels of Analytes in Matrix Because PFOS, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 demonstrate measurable levels in control human serum, a procedure to account for these persistent levels is needed for this method validation. The sponsor provided NWB with blank matrix (Northern Chinese human plasma). This matrix was tested and demonstrated no quantifiable concentrations for any of the analytes. In order to determine the persistent levels of these analytes in the lot of human serum used for the validation, a partial calibration curve was prepared with the blank Northern Chinese human plasma and extracted along with blank human serum samples. The human serum samples were quantitated against the Northern Chinese human plasma calibration curve to determine the persistent levels of the analytes in the lot of human serum being tested. Once the persistent level of each analyte was determined, the target concentrations for each calibration standard and quality control sample were adjusted to account for the persistent amount of analyte. For example, if the target concentration at the lower Page 10 000110 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBS00-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 limit of quantitation was 1.00 ng/mL and the persistent level of the analyte in human serum was 2.00 ng/mL, the target concentration of the LLOQ was adjusted to 3.00 ng/mL. Appendix B outlines the procedure used to calculate persistent levels of analytes in diluted human serum samples. This procedure to account for persistent levels of the analytes in matrix must be performed whenever a new lot of human serum is used during the course o f a study. 2.2. Range of Quantitation Each analytical run included calibration standards in duplicate at nine different concentrations (eight for M556), a minimum of six quality control samples (QCs) (three levels in replicates of two), two serum blanks and two 0-ng/mL QCs (serum blank with internal standard). The target calibrator concentrations were approximately 1.00,2.50, 10.0, 25.0, 50.0, 100,250, 400 and 500 ng/mL for all analytes. Each analyte has a different final curve range based upon the persistent levels o f the analyte in the human serum used. For the validation study, the calibrator concentrations were as follows: PFOS PFOSA PFOSAA POAA PFHS M556 M570 48.1, 49.6, 57.1, 72.1, 97.1, 147, 297, 447, 547 1.00,2.51, 10.1,25.1,50.3, 100,251,402,502 6.00, 7.50, 15.0, 30.0, 55.0, 105, 255, 405, 505 5.76, 7.26, 14.8, 29.8, 54.8, 105, 255,405,.505 3.15, 4.65, 12.2, 27.2, 52.2, 102, 252, 402, 502 4.30, 11.8,26.8,51.8, 102, 252,402,502 5.60, 7.10, 14.6, 29.6, 54.6, 105, 255, 405, 505 Page 11 O O O lil Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBSOO-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 Range Mean Coefficient of Determination PFOS 48.1 to 547 ng/mL 0.9925 (Table l) PFOSA 1.00 to 502 ng/mL 0.9899 (Table 2) PFOSAA 6.00 to 505 ng/mL 0.9968 (Table 3) POAA 5.76 to 505 ng/mL 0.9922 (Table 4) Range Mean Coefficient of Determination PFHS 3.15 to 502 ng/mL 0.9954 (Table 5) M556 4.30 to 502 ng/mL 0.9935 (Table 6) M570 5.60 to 505 ng/mL .9967 (Table 7) The results for the individual calibration standards can be found in Tables 8 - 1 4 . 2.3. Precision and Accuracy The target concentrations for the quality control samples were 4.00,150, 400 and 4000 ng/mL for all analytes. All quality control target concentrations were corrected for the persistent levels of the analytes in the human serum used for preparation. For the validation study, the quality control concentrations were as follows: PFOS PFOSA PFOSAA POAA PFHS M556 M570 Low (ng/mL) 51.1 4.00 9.00 8.74 6.15 5.80 8.60 Medium (ng/mL) 197 150 155 154 152 152 155 High (ng/mL) 446 400 405 403 402 402 405 Dilution (ng/mL) 4460 . 4000 4050 4030 4020 4020 4050 Page 12 000112 00 o Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBSOO-04 Report No. NWBR00-10 2-3.1. Precision and Accuracy for PFOS, PFOSA. PFOSAA. POAA, PFHS. M556 and M570 Quality Controls The precision and accuracy of the LC/MS/MS method for the quantitation of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 in human serum were determined by analyzing three levels of quality controls in replicates of five on three separate days. The intra-assay precision (%CV) for PFOS, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 were less than or equal to 9.5% for each undiluted QC concentration. The mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for all levels of undiluted quality controls ranged from 84.8% to 111.2% (Tables 15 and 18 -2 1 ). The intra-assay precision (%CV) for PFOSA and PFOSAA were less than or equal to 19.8% for each undiluted QC concentration. The mean accuracy (%Theoretieal) for all levels of undiluted QCs ranged from 68.7% to 91.7% (Tables 16 - 17). The inter-assay precision (%CV) for PFOS, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 were less than or equal to 9.7% for each undiluted QC concentration. The mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for all levels of undiluted QCs ranged from 87.4% to 108.5% (Tables 22 and 25 - 28). The inter-assay precision (%CV) for PFOSA and PFOSAA were less than or equal to 14.0% for each undiluted QC concentration. The mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for all levels of undiluted QCs ranged from 73.1% to 88.9% (Tables 23 - 24). For diluted QCs, the inter-assay precision (%CV) for PFOS, POAA,-' PFHS, : M556 and M570 were less than or equal to 6.6%. The mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for the diluted QCs ranged from 92.8% to 113.9% (Tables 31. and 34 - 37). The inter-assay precision (%CV) for PFOSA and PFOSAA were less than or equal to 9.7% for each diluted QC. The mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for the diluted QCs ranged from 79.0% to 81.3% (Tables 32 33). - 000113 Page 13 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBSQO-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 The slightly high negative bias for the calculated concentrations of the PFOSA and PFOSAA QC samples was a result of the QC preparation procedure. A stock solution containing all the analytes was prepared and evaporated to dryness in order to obtain a concentration high enough for the QC concentration range. This methodology is commonly used when stock solution concentrations are too dilute to obtain the targeted concentration or to reduce the organic content of spiked serum samples. For this preparation, evaporation was required to obtain appropriate concentrations. However, because of the high volatility of PFOSA and PFOSAA, approximately 25% of these analytes evaporated from the solution. The quality control samples from this preparation were biased approximately 25% lower (Tables 23 - 25) than those prepared from a solution that was not evaporated (Tables A. 1. - A.2.). 2.3.2. Precision and Accuracy for PFOSA and PFOSAA Specific Quality Controls Because of the bias demonstrated for PFOSA and PFOSAA calculated concentrations from the original QCs prepared as described in section 2.3.1, a new set of QCs containing'only PFOSA and PFOSAA were prepared using concentrated solutions that did not require evaporation. For the PFOSA and PFOSA specific QCs, the intra-assay precision (%CV) for PFOSA and PFOSAA was less than or equal to 23.8% for each undiluted QC concentration. The mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for all levels of undiluted QCs ranged from 72.9% to 107.7% (Tables 29 - 30). The PFOSAA LLOQ calibration standards for the intra-assay Run 17 demonstrated unacceptable accuracies resulting in both replicates being rejected and a raised LLOQ of 7.50 ng/mL for the run. The low QCs for PFOSAA also demonstrated variability greater than 20%. This resulted in a negative bias (72.9% of theoretical) for the low PFOSAA QCs. The mid-level and high-level QCs demonstrated acceptable precision and accuracy. Because this bias only appears at the Low QC level and is a result of within-run Page 14 000114 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBSOO-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 variability, study sample analysis acceptance criteria will be maintained at 20% precision and accuracy for QCs. For the PFOSA and PFOSAA specific QCs containing PFOSA or PFOSAA concentrations above the ULOQ, the intra-assay precision (%CV) for PFOSA and PFOSAA was 19.8% and 20.9%, respectively. The mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for diluted PFOSA and PFOSAA specific QCs were 78.3% and 78.0%, respectively (Tables 38 - 39). The deviation of the calculated concentrations from theoretical concentrations for these QCs diluted with control matrix were both greater than 20%. This indicates that samples with experimentally calculated PFOSA or PFOSAA concentrations above the ULOQ should not be diluted with control matrix. However, the levels of PFOSA and PFOSAA in study samples are expected to be within the range of the calibration curve. The inter-assay precision and accuracy of the PFOSA and PFOSAA specific QCs was demonstrated with the analytical QC performance during sample analysis study NWBS00-062 (medical surveillance). The results can be found" in Appendix A, Tables A .l. and A.2. These tables only contain analyses for reported PFOSA and PFOSAA sample data, and do not include runs that did not meet the acceptance criteria for PFOSA or PFOSAA. ,,--r For the PFOSA and PFOSA specific QCs, the inter-assay precision (%CV) was less than or equal to 11.4% for each undiluted QC concentration. The mean accuracy (%Theoretical) for all levels of undiluted QCs ranged from 98.5% to 107.7%. 2.4. Extraction Efficiency The extraction efficiencies of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 were determined using Northern Chinese human plasma by comparing the area ratios obtained for the following three cases: Page 15 000115 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBSOO-040 Report No. NWBR00-108 1. Both the analyte and internal standard added following the extraction (post extract). 2. The analyte added to plasma prior to extraction and the internal standard added following extraction (pre-extract analyte). 3. The internal standard added to plasma prior to extraction and the analyte added following the extraction (pre-extract internal standard). The extraction efficiencies were then determined by the area ratio of the pre-extract samples to the post-extract samples. The extraction efficiency experiments were performed at both low, medium and high concentrations to determine that there was no concentration bias. The mean extraction efficiencies were: PFOS (42.1%), PFOSA (65.3%), PFOSAA (73.4%), POAA (18.0%), PFHS (19.7%), M556 (43.9%), M570 (66.9%). The overall mean extraction efficiency for the internal standard THPFOS was 7.86% (Tables 40 - 46). The recovery for many of the analytes and for the internal standard are very low. This low recovery is a result of the following factors: a neutral pH was required to minimize any matrix effects that were observed from the previous extraction method which used a basic pH and, the wide range of polarities for the analytes prevented the use of acidic pH during the extraction and prevented the use of an effective SPE extraction for all of the analytes. While the recovery is low, the intra and inter-assay precision and accuracy values demonstrated good reproducibility. The low recovery should not affect the assay performance. The Chinese plasma containing very low persistent levels of most analytes was used to estimate the extraction recovery of the analytes from matrix. This plasma,was used.to provide the most accurate results possible at the lower concentrations. The recovery from general population control serum will be evaluated and reported in an addendum report. Page 16 000116 Northwest Bioanalytical 2.5. Stability Evaluation Study No. NWBS00-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 The stability of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA. POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 maintained under various storage conditions will be documented in a separate NWB report. 3. DATA MANAGEMENT PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556, M570 chromatographic peaks are integrated using PE Sciex MacQuan software (version 1.6) with a smooth factor of 1. Quantitation is based upon quadratic regression analysis of calibration curves (weighted 1/x2) using the area ratio vs. concentration calculated by the Watson DMLIMS software (version 6.1.1.04). 4. COMMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS Per agreement with the Sponsor, the regressions were not recalculated based upon the updated purity information for PFOS, POAA and PFHS. Some differences might occur duelo the effect of rounding if the regressions were performed with the purity corrected concentrations, but these differences would have a negligible effect on the overall interpretation of the validation results. Only THPFOS was used as an internal standard because of concerns over the specificity of one of the original internal standards, N-Et-FOSE-OH, which gave an acetate ion as a product. The volatility of PFOSA and PFOSAA is an important aspect to be cautious of during the evaporation step of the assay. An evaporation step was used for the initial preparation of QC samples to obtain an adequate concentration of the analytes. This set demonstrated acceptable precision, but slightly high negative bias for PFOSA and PFOSAA. A separate set of QCs containing only PFOSA and PFOSAA were prepared without using an evaporation step. The second set (PFOSA and PFOSAA specific QCs) demonstrated Page 17 000117 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBS00-040 Report No. NWBR00-108 both acceptable precision and accuracy. As a result, two sets of intra-assay and inter assay precision and accuracy are shown in the report. The method described in this report has been validated for the determination of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 in human serum. However, study samples with experimentally calculated PFOSA or PFOSAA concentrations above the ULOQ should not be diluted with control matrix. Any known circumstances that may have affected the quality or integrity of the data are discussed in this report. 4.1. Proposed Sample Analysis Acceptance Criteria Calibration Curve Each run will include in duplicate calibration standards at six or more concentrations covering the lower to upper limit of quantitation. For all analytes except PFOSA, at least three-fourths of the calibration standard's back-calculated concentrations must be within 15% ( 20% for LLOQ) of their individual target concentrations. For PFOSA, at least three-fourths of the calibration standard's back-calculated concentrations must be within 20% ( 25% for LLOQ) of their individual target concentrations. A calibration standard will be considered a statistical outlier if the back-calculated concentration is greater than two times the acceptance criteria for that standard. Lower Limit o f Quantitation The back-calculated concentrations of at least one of the duplicate lowest points in the' calibration curve must be within 25% of the target concentration for PFOSA to qualify as the LLOQ and within 20% of the target concentration to qualify as the LLOQ for all other analytes. If this criterion is not met, the next level is subjected to the same test and the LLOQ raised accordingly. Page 18 000118 Northwest Bioanalytical Quality Control Samples Study No. NWBS00-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 Each analytical run will include low, medium and high QC samples in duplicate. The measured concentrations of at least two-thirds of all analytical QCs must be within 20% of their target concentrations ( 25% for PFOSA), and no two QCs at the same concentration can be outside the limit. If study samples require dilution, a dilution QC will be analyzed in triplicate for each dilution level (except for PFOSA and PFOSAA which should not be diluted with control matrix). At least two dilution QC at each level must be within 20% of its target concentrations in order to accept diluted study samples at that level. The dilution QC acceptance is independent of the undiluted analytical QC acceptance. 5. REFERENCES [5.1] D.

ANALYTICAL METHOD Principles of the Method The analytical method consisted of a liquidiliquid extraction procedure followed by evaporation and reconstitution of the extract residue with 30:70 (v/v) 20 mM ammonium acetate in water: 20 mM ammonium acetate in methanol. The samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry using a PE Sciex API 3000. The instrument was operated in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode under optimized conditions for PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and M570 detection.

Therefore, all concentrations included in the report for these analytes are based upon an assumed purity of 100%. Prior to the completion of this final report, 3M contracted with Centre Analytical Laboratories, Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania to determine the absolute concentration of PFOS, POAA and PFHS in the stock standard solution prepared using seven reference materials (PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556 and Page 69 090169 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBS0O-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 M570) at a target concentration of 5000 ppb. Absolute determination of the concentration of PFOSA in the stock standard solutions cannot be made until a full purity determination of these reference materials is completed. Based on the results obtained, the concentrations included in this report should be corrected according to the following table: Analyte PFOS POAA PFHS Correction Factor 0.836 0.909 0.855 Matrix Human serum Human plasma (Northern Chinese) Lot Numbers BC30399-4 C5186; C4929; C5517; C5200 Chemicals and Equipment Chemicals Ammonium acetate, 99.9% Di (ethylene glycol) methyl ether [may be written as 2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethanol] Methanol, HPLC-grade Methyl-rerr-Butyl Ether (MTBE), HPLC-grade Water, HPLC-grade Name Autosampler: PE Series 200 Balance: Mettler Toledo MT5 Equipment/Supplies Source Perkin Elmer, Norwalk, CT Mettler-Toledo, Inc., Hightstown, NJ Page 70 080170 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBS00-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 Equipment/Supplies Name Source Centrifuge: Beckman GS-6R Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, CA Evaporator: Turbo Vap LV, Model 43750 Hematology/Chemistry Mixer, Model 346 HPLC Chromatographie column: Genesis Lightning, Cjg, 4 pm, 2 x 50 mm Liquid Chromatograph: Hewlett Packard 1100 Zymark Corp., Hopkinton, MA Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA Jones Chromatography, Lakewood, CA Agilent (Hewlett Packard), Palo Alto, CA Liquid Chromatograph: PE Sciex Series 200 Perkin Elmer, Norwalk, CT Liquid Chromatograph: Shimadzu SCL-10A controller Shimadzu, Columbia, MD with CL-10AD pump and CTO-10A column oven Mass Spectrometer: Perkin Elmer Sciex API 3000 PE Sciex, Concord, Ontario Multi-tube Vortexer VWR Scientific Products, Bridgeport, NJ Pipettes: Eppendorf Repeater Pipette Brinkman Instruments, Inc., Westbury, NY Pipettes: Finnpipette: Digital 1-5 mL Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA Pipettes: Rainin EDP Digital lOO-lOOOpL TM Rainin Instrument Co., Woburn, MA Pipettes: Rainin M Volumes: adjustable 20-50, 10-100, 100-1000 pL Rainin Instrument Co., Wobum, MA Pipettes: Rainin RL Volumes: adjustable 5-20,20-100,40-200, 200-1000 pL Rainin Instrument Co., Wobum, MA Sonicator, Branson Branson, Danbury, CT Sonicator, Fisher Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, NJ Vortex: Fisher Genie 2 Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, NJ Water Pro Plus Labconco, Co., Kansas City, MO Page 71 03 0 1 7 i Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBSOO-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 7.3. Reagents, Calibration Standard and Quality Control (QC) Solutions The calibrator, quality control and stock solution preparations listed below serve as a general guideline for attaining the targeted concentrations. Due to the fact that PFHS was received at NWB as a solution, both the calibration standard and quality control stocks are from the same solution and are not from separate weighings of reference material as per NWB SOP LABOP003. However, separate aliquots were used for calibration standard and QC stock solution preparation. Reagents All reagent solutions are stored at room temperature unless otherwise noted. 50mMammoniumacetateinwater(unadjusted:pH~6.9) Fill a 1-L volumetric flask approximately half full with water.

Quantitation PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, POAA, PFHS, M556, M570 and THPFOS chromatographic peaks are integrated using PE Sciex MacQuan software (version 1.6) with a smooth factor of 1. Several of the analytes possess iosmers. The chromatographic conditions of this method can achieve baseline separation of these isomers. Because the goal of this method is to determine the total amount for each analyte, all isomer peaks are integrated together and the peak areas are treated as a single peak by MacQuan. Quantitation is based upon quadratic regression analysis of calibration curves (weighted 1/x2) using the area ratio vs. concentration by the Watson DMLIMS software (version 6.1.1.04) Page 84 00184 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBS00-040 Report No. NWBR00-108 Figure 1.

The following section describes equations used to correct for the amount of analyte added from the human serum matrix used to dilute samples. The total volume (VT) of a diluted sample is defined as the volume aliquoted from the original sample (Vs) plus the volume o f matrix (Vm) added. The dilution factor (DF) is defined as the total volume divided by the volume aliquoted from the original sample. Vt = Vs + Vm DF = Vt / V s Example VT= 0.1 mL sample + 0.4 mL control matrix VT= 0.5 The amount of analyte A in a diluted sample is equal to the volume aliquoted from the original sample times the concentration of analyte in the sample (Cs) plus the volume of control matrix added times the concentration o f analyte in the control matrix (Cm)- The concentration of analyte in the sample (Cs) is determined during sample analyses. The concentration of analyte in the control matrix (Cm) is determined experimentally for each lot of control matrix as described in Section 2.1. Equation 1. Total Amount of analyte = Vs*Cs + VM*CM Example Total Amount of analyte = [0.1 mL sample * 100 ng/mL]+ [0.4 mL control matrix * 10 ng/mL] Total Amount of analyte = 14 ng 030200 Page 100 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBSOO-040 Report No. NWBR00-108 Amount of analyte from sample = 10 ng Amount of analyte from control matrix = 4 ng The concentration of the analyte (CA) in the diluted sample is equal to the sum of the following: 1) the ratio of the volume of sample (Vs) to the total volume of the diluted sample (VT) times the concentration in the sample (Cs), and 2) the ratio of the volume of control matrix in the diluted sample (VM) to the total volume of the diluted sample(VT) times the concentration in the control matrix (C m)- (This is the concentration of analyte in the diluted sample prior to any adjustment for the actual dilution.) The equation for the above is: Equation 2. CA= (Vs/VT)*Cs + (VM/VT)* ClM Example CA= [(0.1 mL/0.5 mL) * 100 ng/mL] + [(0.4 mL/0.5 mL) * 10 ng/mL] CA- 28 ng/mL (28 ng/mL = 14 ng total amount calculated above/0.5 mL total volume) Replacing the volume o f control matrix V Mwith (V t-V s) into this equation produces: Equation 3. CA= (Vs/VT)*Cs + ((Vt-Vs)/Vt)*Cm or CA= (Vs/VT)*Cs + (1-Vs/Vt)*Cm Example CA= [(0.1 mL/0.5 mL)*100 ng/mL] + [(l-(0.1 mL/0.5 mL))*10 ng/mL] CA= 20 ng/mL + 8 ng/mL CA= 28 ng/mL Inserting 1/DF for the term Vs/VTyields the final equation for CA: 0002C* Page 101 Northwest Bioanalytical Study No. NWBS00-040 Report No. NWBROO-108 Equation 4. CA= (1/DF)*CS+ (1-1/DF)*Cm Example CA= [(1/5)* 100 ng/mL] + [(l-(t/5))*10 ng/mL] CA= 28 ng/mL The concentration determined by the Watson LIMS system (Cw) for any sample is: Equation 5. Cw = D F * C a Example Cw= 5 * 28 ng/mL Cw= 140 ng/mL (This is the concentration of analyte after adjusting for the actual dilution.) Substituting the final equation for CA(Equation 4.) into the equation for Cw gives: Equation 6. Cw = DF *[(l/DF)*Cs + (1-1/DF)*Cm] Example Cw= 5 * [((1/5) *100 ng/mL) + (((l-(l/5)) * 10 ng/mL)] Cw= 5* [20 ng/mL + 8 ng/mL] Cw - 140 ng/mL Solving this last equation for Cs produces the equation for correction due to persistent levels which is used to adjust theoretical calibration and QC concentrations. Equation 7. Cs = Cw - (DF-1)*Cm Example Cs 140 ng/mL - [(5-1) * 10 ng/mL] 000202 Page 102 Northwest Bioanalytical Cs = 140 ng/mL - 40 ng/mL Cs = 100 ng/mL Study No. NWBS00-040 Report No. NWBR00-108 Page 103 ofcito:
