Role of internal standard in gas chromatography

Some points on role of internal standard in gas chromatography are:

  • An internal standard compensates for small differences in injected sample volume by producing a reference peak in every chromatogram.
  • It corrects variability introduced during sample injection by experiencing the same injection conditions as the analyte.
  • The internal standard reflects changes in detector sensitivity, allowing measured analyte signals to be adjusted accordingly.
