If I determine that my percent Matrix Effects (ME) for my SPE method shows a 30 percent reduction in signal, will my analyte (same as in standard) with an unknown concentration also have matrix effects issues such as ion suppression? - WKB97236
Article number: 97236
ENVIRONMENT
- Matrix Effects
- Percent
- Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
- Ion Suppression
ANSWER
Yes.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you are using the same method and quantitating the same analyte in determining %ME as an unknown, the same level of ion suppression or loss of area count is expected. (If you use the same sample matrix).
