After adding 0.1 mg of a surrogate to your sample and obtaining a recovery rate of 80%, calculate the concentration of the surrogate in the original sample.
💡 Hint: Use the recovery formula to trace back to the original concentration.
If an instrument response gives a value of 50,000 units for a sample diluted down to 10 mL from original 100 mL, and the calibration factor is 5,000 units/mg, find the concentration of the analyte in the original sample.
