A solution of volume 1 mL, containing an equal parts mixture (by weight) of aspirin and paracetamol (acetaminophen), was analysed by HPLC, displaying peaks at retention times 1.5 mins (area integration 1500) and 2.0 mins (area integration 2500). An unknown solution, also volume 1 mL, was analysed under the same conditions and, among a number of other peaks, there was one at 2.0 mins (area integration 4000).

One method for the quantitative determination of the concentration of constituents in a sample analyzed by gas chromatography is area normalization. Here, complete elution of all the sample constituents is necessary. The area of each peak is then measured and corrected for differences in detector response to the different eluates. This correction involves dividing the area by an empirically determined correction factor. The concentration of the analyte is found from the ratio of its corrected area to the total corrected area of all peaks. For a chromatogram containing three peaks, the relative areas were found to be 16.4, 45.2 and 30.2, in order of increasing retention time. Calculate the percentage of each compound if the relative detector responses were 0.60, 0.78 and 0.88, respectively.
