Response Factor Equation
The ratio of the peak area of the target compound in the sample extract
to the peak area of the internal standard in the sample extract is
compared to a similar ratio obtained for each calibration standard.
This ratio is referred as the relative response factor or for short RRF, therefore
showing that the target compound response is found relative to that of the
internal standard.
Response Factor equation
RF = ((Ax)(Cis))/((Ais)(Cx))

Advantages
✘ It is the reason for routine variation in the response of
the chromatographic system.
✘ It also accounts for the variations in the exact volume
of sample or sample extract introduced in the
chromatographic system.
✘ The retention times of the target compound and the
internal standard can be used to find out the relative
retention time (RRT) of the target compound and
after that it may be used to compensate for small
retention time shifts.
7
Disadvantages
✘ The main disadvantage of internal standard
calibration is that the internal standards must
be compounds that aren’t found in the
samples to be analyzed and also they must
produce an unambiguous response on the
chromatographic detector system.

Calibration Factor Equation
What is Calibration
Factor?
The ratio of the detector response to the
mass of analyte in the calibration standard is
termed as the calibration factor or CF.
11
Equation for Calibration Factor
(External Standard Curve)
CF = (Ax)/(Cx)
13
Disadvantages
✘ The most prominent disadvantage is that it is
considerably affected by the stability of the
chromatographic detector system and the
presence of chromatographic interferences
in a sample or sample extract.
