Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Internal standardization uses a compound that is physically and chemically similar to the analyte being measured.The internal standard is added in known quantity to the sample containing the analyte as a first step.It is assumed that any losses or variations that occur will affect the analyte and the internal standard equally, allowing the accurate quantification of the analyte in the presence of sample loss, injection imprecision, and detector variation.The use of an internal standard may also provide a quality-control check, because it should produce a peak height that is consistent in all chromatograms.
