The results obtained were quite consistent over period of analysis. Values obtained for total folate as folic acid was about 96% of the lowest range specified for this reference material. Interday as well as intraday precision of the method over a period of about 3 months was found to be satisfactory.

Certified Total Folate Value* 3.15 + 0.28 *BCR Certified Total Folate value as folic acid obtained by microbiological assay (L. rhamnosus) Method Accuracy Evaluation Repeated: The method accuracy was repeated again recently (API 5500 from ABSciex). The results are presented in the following Table. The results of this investigation again help in establishing the accuracy of the method.
