SW
1
= weight of material delivered to a volumetric flask (RTF, or reconstituted powder) and diluted as per
sample table guidelines. For example, a RTF product of 0.21-1.0% fructan would have a SW
1
of 7 g (±10%) into
a 200 mL volumetric flask.
SW
2
= weight of solution from volumetric flask per sample table guidelines (volumetric dilution of SW
1
). Value
should be 0.2 g ± 10%.
PW
= weight of powder product weighed to be reconstituted (5 g ± 10%).
WW
= weight of water used to reconstitute powder products (40 g ± 10%).

Dilution factor (DF)
–
Calculated as follows:
Low-level fructan (RTF 0.03-0.2%, powder 0.27-1.0%)
DF = 50 mL

2 mL
Mid-level fructan (RTF 0.21-1.0%, powder 1.1-10%)
DF = 200 mL

High-level fructan (RTF 1.1-5.0%, powder 11-45%)
DF = 500 mL
