(14) Glycopyrrolate: 3 pg/ml in plasma;

(15) Guaifenesin: 12 ng/ml in plasma;

(16) Ketoprofen: 2 ng/ml in plasma;

(23) Procaine penicillin: 25 ng/ml of procaine in plasma;

(24) Ranitdine: 40 ng/ml in plasma; and

(25) Xylazine: 200 pg/ml 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 paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of section 4120.17 of this Part.
