In method epa 525.2 for semivolatiles analysis, every compound has an IS reference (acenaphtene-d10, crysene-d12 and phenenathrene-d10) to calculate de response with it. I thinked theoretically that the use of an especific internal standard is mainly based in similar retention time between the IS and the target anlalyte. But, there are some compounds, ex: the high boiling PAHs (benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, etc.) that are related to other IS instead the IS whit most simlar retention time ( PAHs are relate to Phenanthrene-d10 in the method, phenanthrene-d10 has a retention time about 10-11 min, and not to crysene with 18-21 min very nearly to the HAPs mentioned.
Does anybody some knowledge about it, which is the reason??
Thaks in advance
