Preferred Label : sensitivity;
Detailed label : sensitivity in metrology and analytical chemistry, A;
IUPAC definition : The slope of the calibration curve. If the curve is in fact a 'curve', rather than
a straight line, then of course sensitivity will be a function of analyte concentration
or amount. If sensitivity is to be a unique performance characteristic, it must depend
only on the chemical measurement process, not upon scale factors.;
