In analytical chemistry, the detection limit, lower limit of detection, also termed LOD for limit of detection or analytical sensitivity (not to be confused with statistical sensitivity), is the lowest quantity of a substance that can be distinguished from the absence of that substance (a blank value) with a stated confidence level (generally 99%).
A calibration curve plot showing limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), dynamic range, and limit of linearity (LOL).. In analytical chemistry, a calibration curve, also known as a standard curve, is a general method for determining the concentration of a substance in an unknown sample by comparing the unknown to a set of standard samples of known concentration.

The charged aerosol detector (CAD) is a detector used in conjunction with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) to measure the amount of chemicals in a sample by creating charged aerosol particles which are detected using an electrometer.
Considering detection limit, both TCD and FID reach low concentration levels (inferior to ppm or ppb). [ 2 ] Both of them require pressurized carrier gas (Typically: H 2 for FID, He for TCD) but due to the risk associated with storing H 2 (high flammability, see Hydrogen safety ), TCD with He should be considered in locations where safety is ...
Validation of analytical procedures is imperative in demonstrating that a drug substance is suitable for a particular purpose. [5] Common validation characteristics include: accuracy, precision (repeatability and intermediate precision), specificity, detection limit, quantitation limit, linearity, range, and robustness.
A typical example is NO determination with detection limits down to 1 ppb. Highly specialised chemiluminescence detectors have been used recently to determine concentrations as well as fluxes of NO x with detection limits as low as 5 ppt. [14] [15] [16] Analysis of inorganic species in liquid phase
The triple quadrupole mass spectrometer allows for increased sensitivity and specificity yielding lower detection and quantitation limits. [8] For these reasons, employment of the TQMS is a vital asset in the fields of drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, environmental studies, and biological analyses.
An example of a Levey–Jennings chart with upper and lower limits of one and two times the standard deviation. A Levey–Jennings chart is a graph that quality control data is plotted on to give a visual indication whether a laboratory test is working well. The distance from the mean is measured in standard deviations.
