¾ A calibration standard should be prepared in the same biological matrix same as that of
the study samples, by spiking with known concentrations of the analyte.
¾ A calibration curve should be comprised of a “blank matrix” (matrix processed without
analyte and internal standard), a “zero standard” (blank matrix processed only with
internal standard) and six or more calibration standards covering the expected range,
including the LLOQ and ULOQ.
¾ LLOQ should cover at least 4-5 half-life of the reported Cmax.
¾ ULOQ should cover the expected Cmax value. When no reference is available, it should
be decided on basis of development studies results.
¾ Calibration curve must contain minimum six calibration standards. Selection of
calibration standard expressed as multiple of LLOQ and percent of ULOQ are as follows:

LLOQ Standard 1 – CS-1 LLOQ
5% ULOQ or 2 X LLOQ Standard 2 – CS-2 2 X LLOQ
10% ULOQ Standard 3 – CS-3 2% to 5% ULOQ
20% ULOQ Standard 4 – CS-4 10% ULOQ
40% ULOQ Standard 5 – CS-5 20% ULOQ
60% ULOQ Standard 6 – CS-6 40% ULOQ
80% ULOQ Standard 7 – CS-7 60% ULOQ
100% ULOQ Standard 8 – CS-8 80% ULOQ
Standard 9 – CS-9 100% ULOQ
Procedure:
¾ LLOQ and ULOQ calibration standards in duplicate (add suffix “D” in sample name of
duplicate standard) were prepared, so that if first does not meet acceptance criteria, then
only second standard of the same concentration level should be used in regression
analysis. If both are within acceptance criteria consider the first standard for regression
analysis.
¾ Blank matrix, zero standard and calibration standards were processed and analyzed as per
the procedure described in sample preparation section.
¾ Summary of the curve fitting parameters and of back-calculated concentration at each
standard level from each calibration curve were prepared.
¾ % nominal concentration of back-calculated value at each calibration level to determine
accuracy at each calibration level was calculated.
