What type of single laboratory validations were used for this method [i.e, Harmonized PTM, Precollaborative,
Independent, Collaborative, etc.] and where is it referenced in the method documentation?
Independent. See GF Pang's Journal of AOAC publications. One of the publications directly related to the method
is listed as a reference at the end of the official method document.
Pre-collaborative SLV mentioned in the Introduction of the Collaborative Study report/publication
Noted multiple laboratory validations in the Method annex
There was a collaborative study done prior to first action. OMAMAN-14 details the study
The SLV was performed pre-collaborative. Reproducibility was tested by authors using a collaborative study
(MLT).
The information is included in the Method Manuscript.
The method performance was demonstrated in its collaborative study, which was published at J AOAC Int.
