Benzoilecgnonine:

Cut-off: 25 ng/mL
Measuring uncertainty: 5 ng/mL


In the received sample all of the indicated substances have been analyzed. The following positivity criterion has been used: when the concentration of the substances is over or equal the cut-off value plus the value of test uncertainty, the result is Positive. In opposite case the result is Negative. The laboratory has a measurement uncertainty across the entire working range.
