Fitting Nonlinear Calibration Curves: No Models Perfect

Abstract: The study of the calibration of a series of compounds of environmental concern (six perfluoroalkyl compounds (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and five perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids), three preservatives (methyl-, ethyl-and propylparabens) and the brominated flame retardant hexabromocyclododecane) by LC-MS/MS has been carries out, with a view to their simultaneous determination in samples of environmental interest. In some cases nonlinear calibration curves are obtained, but restricting the concentration range … Show more

“…This was largely due to the matrix effect of the samples, as we have noted before, attributed by the simple sample preparations (protein precipitation technique). This occurrence was noted in samples analyzed by LC-MS/MS in several other studies [15,20] and, hence, the option of quadratic regression is acceptable. The 1/x weighting factor was opted in the calibration curve in order to give more emphasis to the lower concentrations, as well as to ensure good assay performance.…”

“…Secondly, non-linear calibration models are more complicated because many different polynomial equations have to be considered [16]. A quadratic model is J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f frequently reported to fit calibration curves [21]. However, when a curvature is present, in some cases it is difficult to cope with a single quadratic regression that could be used over the entire range [22].…”

“…Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) scanning (precursor ion: 498.85 and product ion: 79.97) with electron spray ionization (ESI (−)) mode was adopted to quantitatively determine PFOS. A total of 10 calibration standards ranging from 0.01 to 10 mg L −1 were determined at the start of each measurement batch, and 3 calibration curves were established using standards 0.01-0.1 mg L −1 , 0.1-1 mg L −1 , and 1-10 mg L −1 , to satisfy the quantification of various PFOS concentration ranges (Figure 1) [34], with batch sample number ≤ 50 and R 2 ≥ 0.999 to ensure data quality. The electrokinetic porous media adsorption column reactor was designed according to Figure 2, the percolation column was design as described in our previous research [31].…”
