(ii)2 ng/ml of free butorphanol in plasma;
(4)Cetirizine: 6 ng/ml in plasma;
(5)Cimetidine: 400 ng/ml in plasma;
(6)Cobalt: 50 ng/ml in plasma;
(7)Dantrolene: 100 pg/ml of 5-hydroxydantrolene in plasma;

(b)A laboratory finding that a horse has not exceeded a threshold set forth in this section shall not constitute a defense to a violation of any other section of this Subchapter.
(c)A person who is found responsible for a violation of this section for the substance cobalt, when the detected concentration of cobalt exceeds 300 ng/ml in plasma, shall incur the same penalty described in section 4120.17(d)(2) of this Part.
