The blank soil was used to run calibration graphs for the 13 volatile aromatic compounds. Aliquots of 3.0 g of the blank soil were spiked with 0.5 mL methanolic solutions that contained all analytes at different concentrations, 12.5 mL of 2 mol/L KCl solution and 250 ƒÝL of ethyl acetate containing 4 ƒÝg/mL of fluorobenzene (IS). "This procedure favors the analytes in the soil being primordial present in the deposited state", although some analyte¡Vmatrix interaction is possible
The part between speech marks, does this make sense? Can anyone unravel what it is talking about?

the sentence is not clear
I think the person tried to say that the analytes (the compounds being analyzed) in the soil that were originally in the soil (not added with the calibration solutions) will remain attached to the soil particles and will not interfere with the calibration. Adding KCl inhibits the aromatic compounds from going into the solution. This is somewhat contradictory because these calibration samples are supposed to be blank (no aromatic compounds in them). Indeed, the sentence is not clear.

: not contradictory - calibration for different concentrations, not just zero. See my asker note.

I think it makes sense, if you are trying to say that this procedure is of advantage to the process you are describing.
P.S.: I think you should say primordially..
