Linearity: A linear correlation coefficient factor was obtained between the peak area used and the absorbance Verses concentrations of lamivudine‚ zidovudine and nevirapine. The calibration curves were linear for concentrations between 15-150 µg/ml. The linearity of the calibration curves was validated by the values of the correlation coefficients (r2). The correlation coefficients were 0.999 for lamivudine‚ 0.999 zidovudine and 0.999 for nevirapine. The results of the linearity experiment are listed
