29. Testing Performance of the New Assay: First a standard had to be created which would add a known quantity of Turbidity (NTUs) with each addition to the test solution (H 2 0) contained within the cuvette. Formula (from Hach Manual):
30. Testing Performance of the New Assay: Example: A single 1.0 µL addition of 1000NTU solution to a cuvette with a total volume of 2.5 mL.

32. Revising the Hach 2100N Turbidimeter Specs Revised Hach 2100N Turbidimeter Specifications: * The standard deviation of each successive addition was 0.001 NTUs. Original Hach 2100N Turbidimeter Specifications: 0.2 ±0.003* Repeatability .066 0.001 Resolution True NTU Value Displayed NTU Value Measurement N/A ±0.01 or 1.0% > of Repeatability N/A 0.001 Resolution True NTU Value Displayed NTU Value Measurement
36. Parallel Run (2483B Assay) “Non-Ideal” Conditions Although 40% of the compounds had a different solubility, more often than not (75%) the difference was only 5 - 10 µg/µL.
