  1. aAverage of three measurements
  2. bMean ± RSD% of recoveries for five concentrations of TUL in triplicates
  3. c RSD% values for three concentration levels (1.0 × 10–4, 1.0 × 10–5, 1.0 × 10–6 M) of TUL, each repeated three times intraday for repeatability and interday for three consecutive days for intermediate precision
  4. dRSD% values for previous concentrations under minor pH variations
  5. eLOD (detection limit) was determined by intercepting the extrapolated lines of non-responsive and the Nernstian sections in the potential profile
