Which of the following statements is false in relation to internal standard calibration?:
Known quantities of the internal standard are added to the samples and to the calibration patterns.
It applies when, among successive measures, it is difficult to maintain any of the operating parameters or reproduce the amount of sample subjected to the measurement process.
