A 10-100 times higher limit of quatification may apply to samples with high fat levels (e.g. fish liver) or samples with matrix interferences. For the determination of fat, 5-10 g sample (wet weight) is needed additionally.
The accreditation only covers solid biological matrices. Cost for sample preparation may be added.
Some matrices demand freeze-drying which may prolong the turnaround time.
