I am using Epigallocatechin (EGC), Epigallocatechingallate(EGCG), Epicatechingallate(ECG) and Epicatechin(EC) as standards in HPLC based quantification of these catechins in tea samples. Is it possible to get same peak area for same concentration of all the four compounds or it will depend on the extinction coefficient of compounds. I am using isocratic elution, mobile phase is water:methanol:acetic acid(73:23:1). Coloumn is oyster BDS premium C18 (300mm X 4.6 mm), coloumn temperature: 313K.

Waiting for the kind response from experts
