Validation of liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods

Bonus self test 9.5

1. Estimate CCα and CCβ for LC-MS/MS measurements of triazophos from tomatoes using the method given in ISO 11843-2. Use ValChrom to estimate CCα and CCβ. For those who want to understand the calculation processes behind CCα and CCβ, full calculation logic can be found at [ref 18].
