contamination, and run a blank on the GC/MS to be certain that the syringe is<br />

clean.<br />

6. Record the ratio <strong>of</strong> the peak area <strong>of</strong> each compound to the peak area <strong>of</strong> the<br />

internal standard, and construct a standard curve. This standard curve must<br />

be linear, and should have an R 2 greater than 0.85. Place the concentration<br />

ratio on the x axis (concentration <strong>of</strong> the compound / concentration <strong>of</strong> internal<br />

standard). Place the area ratio on the y axis (peak area <strong>of</strong> the compound /<br />

peak area <strong>of</strong> the internal standard). <strong>The</strong> response factor is calculated as the<br />

inverse <strong>of</strong> the slope <strong>of</strong> this line.<br />

7. To calculate the absolute abundance <strong>of</strong> the compound:<br />

Conc. <strong>of</strong> cmpd = response factor * (area <strong>of</strong> cmpd/area <strong>of</strong> istd) * (conc. cmpd / conc. <strong>of</strong> istd)<br />
