“…Assay precision [i.e., coefficient of variation (C V )] and accuracy (i.e., percent of unrecovery which is the percentage deviation from 100%) were calculated using glycerol and FFA control samples by 8 replicate determinations per analyte. In the current investigation, the C V and percent of unrecovery using a 240 μM glycerol and 0.35 mM free-fatty acid control serum was 2.5% and 1.2%, as well as 8.9% and 3.6%, respectively, which is in accordance with previously accepted guidelines [ 11 , 12 ].…”
