Addition of Internal Standard [Bioanalytics]
Dear Roshini,
It is always a good practice to take plasma sample first into the vial and add internal standard to it. But your practical concern of missing of internal standard (IS) addition to some vials, if IS is added later, is valid. Hence, it is better to practically prove (as you said, as part of your Robustness experiments) that it makes no significant difference whether you add 'IS to plasma' or 'plasma to IS'. In addition, you need to state in your method protocol or method SOP, what you planned to do. For example, you may say, "take so and so volume of plasma sample into the vials containing so and so IS".
With best regards,
