SA was completely resolved from other compounds,
having a retention time of approximately
32–35 minutes (fig 1), and was found to

Asker: Thank you! Do you know a website where I can look up the definition? I'm puzzled as to whether the retention time refers to serum detectability... or what?

Asker: Thank you very much!
