What is a detector response factor and how is it used in quantitation with multiple analytes?

• A. It is the ratio of detector noise to signal.
• B. It relates detector signal to concentration and is used to compare responses of different analytes to a reference signal or internal standard, enabling accurate quantitation when detector response varies among analytes.
• C. It measures the thermal stability of analytes.
• D. It defines the linear dynamic range of the detector.

Answer: (B)
