2.1. PARAMETERS RELATED TO HPLC SEPARATION General Comments Every analytical technique is characterized by its specificity/selectivity, reproducibility and repeatability, accuracy, range of linearity between the quantity of analyte and the response of the analytical instrument, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), recovery yield of the sample processing, robustness, ruggedness, and stability [1]. In order to achieve optimum method
