4.3.1.2 Linearity
A linear correlation coefficient factor was obtained between the concentrations of Lamivudine, Zidovudine and Nevirapine versus the peak area. The calibration curves were linear for concentrations between 15-150 µg/mL. The linearity of the calibration curves was evaluated by the values of the correlation coefficients (r2). The correlation coefficients were 0.999 for Lamivudine, 0.999 for Zidovudine and 0.999 for Nevirapine. The results of the linearity experiment are listed in …show more content…

4.3.1.6 Robustness
Deliberate changes in the method, i.e., changes in the flow rate and the wavelength, did not significantly affect the peak tailing, the theoretical plates (Table 4.8).
