Abstract

The use of internal standards in solutions analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) has become a routine system for simultaneous quantitative and qualitative analysis. Selection of a suitable internal standard has depended upon the following: (1) elution time must not significantly overlap the elution time of drug assayed, and preferably elute later; (2) the detector response must be linear over a wide range of concentrations; (3) a stock solution should be stable for a considerable period of time; and (4) the preparation and synthesis of internal standard should be rapid or the standard should be commercially available.
