Calibration Curve using Dionex 3000 ultimate HPLC and API 5500 MS (Qtrap) detector:
The linearity evaluation of calibration were performed with standards prepared in the elution solvent,
i.e., 10:90:1(v,v,w) :: formic acid : methanol : ascorbic acid and neutralized with ammonium hydroxide.
The calibration curves were extended to 7pts. Concentrations and consisted of: 1, 2, 5, 20, 50, 200 and
500 ng/mL.
