Preferred Label : limit of detection;
Detailed label : limit of detection in analysis;
IUPAC definition : The limit of detection, expressed as the concentration, cL, or the quantity, q L,
is derived from the smallest measure, x L, that can be detected with reasonable certainty
for a given analytical procedure. The value of x L is given by the equation \[x_{{L}}
\overline{x}_{{bi}} k\ s_{{bi}}\] where x bi is the mean of the blank measures,
s bi is the standard deviation of the blank measures, and k is a numerical factor
chosen according to the confidence level desired.;
