C. Interlaboratory Study Results Table
Table 2. Performance characteristics using data from 4-parameter logistic regression analysis for curve fitting; data from 19 participants with 21 different samples are divided into part A (samples 1-10) and part B (samples 11-21); for raw data from each participant including outlier calculation refer to table A-1 and table A-2 in Annex A.
