p-TOLUENESULFONIC ACID: METHOD 5043, Issue 1, dated 15 January 1998 - Page 4 of 4 6 mL of the isopropanol had evaporated, and the remaining 14 mL was cold because of evaporation. Separate recovery experiments were performed. The average recovery of 3-µg quantities ofptoluenesulfonic acid from 20-mL volumes of fortified isopropanol was 1.04 (Sr = 0.054 for 6 samples); the average recovery of 6-µg quantities ofp-toluenesulfonic acid from20-mL volumes of fortified isopropanol was 1.01 (Sr = 0.028 for 6 samples). After 29 days of storage at room temperature, the average recovery of 3-µg quantities of p-toluenesulfonic acid from 20-mL volumes of isopropanol was 0.95 (S r = 0.050 for 6 samples). This alternative method and the method with glass fiber filters both have the same LOD and LOQ, because final sample solution volumes in the two methods are the same.
