Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for quantifying one or more analytes in a sample by an analysis system comprising a separation unit (LC column), a means of adding a solution post-column (Connector), and a detection unit comprising a mass spectrometer coupled through an ionization source, the method comprising: ? (i) inducing matrix effect on the analytes in the sample and on the post-column infused internal standards (PCI-ISs); ? (ii) matching one or more post-column infused internal standard (PCI-IS) to each analyte that best matches the analyte's response to the matrix effect, and ? (iii) storing the analyte-matched PCI-IS identification and, optionally, associated response data in a library; and ? (iv) applying the analyte-matched PCI-IS to the analyte in other samples to correct the analyte peak responses for the matrix effect during ionization and to obtain (absolute) quantitation of the analyte using the response data.
