“…The pooled "blank" urine, representing an average individual or patient, as well as three spiked samples of the same urine were also used for the validation. QC-A was spiked with 1824 M uracil, representing total DPD deficiency [19,21]; QC-B with 912 M uracil and 1774 M UH2, representing total DHP deficiency [19,21,22,33] and QC-C with 365 M uracil, 709 M UH2 and 1535 M bUP, representing total UP deficiency [13,30]. Precisions and accuracies were determined by sextuple analysis of each validation sample in three analytical runs on three separate days for all QCs (total: n = 18).…”
