9 Each concentration level standard sample was injected separately.1 needle(concentration linear);STD Inject the standard sample into different injection volumes (injection volume is linear), and use concentration and peak area to make a linear equation. The results show that the concentration linear correlation coefficient R² is 0.9980, the linear correlation coefficient R² of the injection volume is 0.9995, indicating that the method is linear.
