  1. Rt retention time, CE collision energy, Cell Acc cell acceleration, LOD & LOQ limits of dectection and quantification
  2. aThe upper (first row) transition masses were used for quantification and the lower (second row) for qualification purposes
  3. bThe R2 and slope values for DMBQ are derived from a four-point calibration
