Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Chromatography

Context:

  • Internal standard methods are traditionally used to mitigate errors in sample preparation and injection during analytical measurements.
  • Recent advancements in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) apparatuses have led to injectors with high repeatability, questioning the necessity of internal standards for improving analytical precision.

Purpose:

  • To experimentally and theoretically investigate whether the use of internal standards significantly improves analytical precision in HPLC, given the high repeatability of modern injectors.
  • To compare the precision of the internal standard method versus the absolute calibration curve method using butylscopolamine bromide as an example analyte.
  • To introduce the (function of mutual information) (FUMI) theory for estimating measurement relative standard deviation (RSD) without repeated experiments and provide equations for calculating RSD and selecting the optimal analytical method.

Summary:

  • This study evaluates the precision of internal standard methods versus absolute calibration in HPLC analysis of butylscopolamine bromide.
  • Experimental and theoretical analyses demonstrate that the benefit of internal standards may be limited with highly repeatable modern HPLC injectors.
  • The (function of mutual information) (FUMI) theory is presented to accurately estimate measurement RSD, and practical equations are provided for method selection based on analyte concentration and experimental conditions.

Impact:

  • Provides crucial insights into the practical utility of internal standards in contemporary HPLC analysis.
  • Offers a theoretical framework, the (function of mutual information) (FUMI) theory, for predicting analytical precision and reducing the need for extensive experimental validation.
  • Equips analytical chemists with tools to optimize method selection, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in quantitative analysis.
