For GC analysis of a liquid sample of 3 comp. can I make external standards of each alone diluted in solvent?

Question

I want to analyze a liquid sample of 3 components. Can I make external standards of each one of them diluted in the same solvent as the sample (3 reference curves) in stead of making a reference curve for the whole sample?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do that. In fact, it would probably be helpful in identifying each component unless you already know the elution order of the three compounds.
