5. matrix effects Internal standard (IS) normalized matrix effect = mean of (peak area ratio in presence of matrix, where both analyte and internal standard are added to extracts of control matrix)/(peak area ratio of analyte and internal standard in absence of matrix)
Note: a ratio of means is different from a mean of ratios
%CV = standard deviation (SD) × 100 mean measured conc.
%Recovery = 100 × mean peak area ratio (extracted samples containing analyte to which internal standard is added post- extraction)/peak area ratio (post-extraction-spiked samples, where both analyte and internal standard are added to extracts of control matrix)
Note: a ratio of means is different from a mean of ratios
