Spike-recovery experiments using surrogate standards

The animation below is a repetition on the use of a surrogate standard to calculate the analyte recovery of a given analytical method.

Whereas in the previous spike schemes, only one analyte mass (i.e., 30) was spiked, this amount will be varied in the following. This allows construction of 'calibration curves'. Of course, as in the case of IS calibration, the spiked mass of surrogate standards is always the same.
