“…Since the quantity of sample removed for analyses is very small with respect to the total volume of the sample, the volume changes are neglected. For example, ten 5-µ1 additions would be required to cause a 1% volume change in the 5-ml solutions, while the agreement between injections has been reported to be within 2-10% for HVAA measurements as shown by our own work and others (23,26,39,40).…”
