Merhaba Emrah!

❝ It is reported as "Fault in the sample processing".


OK, but how can you know that? Was anything documented in the lab journal like “I’m not sure whether I added the IS to this sample”? Can you give us:

❝ ❝ Conc: 418.78

❝ ❝ Re-analysis 1: 8.76

❝ ❝ Re-analysis 2: 7.24

❝ ❝ Means of Reanalyses : 8.00

❝ ❝ Reported Conc: NR


NR because “duplicate repeats were more than 20 percent different from one another”. That’s a matter of perspective:

Re-analysis 1: 8.76 (+21.0% of 7.24, –9.5% of x)
Re-analysis 2: 7.24 (–19.9% of 8.76, +9.5% of x)

Obviously the decision to not report the value was based on the first replicate – why not on the second? Looks like an ambiguity in the SOP. :cherry picking:
If ever possible (i.e., suf­fi­cient sample) run triplicates and use the median for assess­ment.

In which country do you want to submit the study? Bad luck for the EU and seemingly for Turkey as well.
However, I would explore potential impact of IS carry-over. Inject a sample spiked to a similar concentration like the sample in the batch before the doubtful value followed by a spiked sample without IS.
