    An Internal Standard (IS) is a substance added in a constant amount to samples, calibrators, and quality controls in an analytical experiment. It is used to correct for variations in sample preparation and instrument response, ensuring more accurate and consistent results. This technique is particularly useful in fields like biochemistry and pharmacology, where precise quantification of compounds is critical.
