The response of the standards decreased over time.
However, when using freshly prepared standards, the
response remained constant; this suggests there may be
temperature stability issues with the samples. Although
excellent short-term (30 hour) stability yielded standard
deviations less than 5%, using a refrigerated autosampler
and an isotopically-labeled internal standard will help
minimize systematic sample degradation and response
variation.
