Over the years I have worked in labs that have injected neat samples with a split ratio and reported area percent values with FID. Given a one microliter injection, a hypothetical neat sample could be equal to a 1-mg injection. *Since 1-mg is 100x the maximum linear range amount for FID -- is there a valid argument that one should not report neat samples by FID and area percent, since the various components responses would not be linear? Specifically, the main assay peak linearity vs. the much smaller impurities.
Give this a little thought in case my reasoning is flawed, and let me know if I am in error.
