The placebos or unfortified SPIFAN matrices were spiked at 50% and 150% of the typical

target level. In absence of a placebo, fully fortified product was over-spiked at 50% and

100%.

The biotin results in both SRM 1849a and IRM were close to 100% of the respective target

values confirming the accuracy of the method (Table 2).

All the biotin spiked recoveries were within 95% to 105% of added value confirming

accuracy of the method (Table 3). The recoveries well exceeds the SMPR 2014.005

requirements of 90% to 110% in all instances.

Calibration forced through origin as the 50% levels were lower than the lowest calibration.

**Placebo for Adult Nutritional RTF, High Protein Lot#/ID 00415RF00 could not be used for

spiked recovery studies due to the microbial growth observed in the milk samples. Instead

the fully fortified sample of the same matrix Lot#/ID00414RF00 was used for over spiking.

5.6 Precision (Repeatability)

Repeatability was determined by analysing the 12 different matrices in the SLV test

materials kit in duplicate on each of the 6 days by two different analysts. In addition two

different liquid chromatography equipment were utilized during the course of validation.

Precision data for all the samples can be found in Table 4. Coefficient of variation (%RSD)

was calculated on all the 12 data points on all the 12 SLV matrices. The %RSD was not

more than 3.2% and is well below the set limit of 6% as per SMPR 2014.005.
