LOD


Limit of Detection (LOD):
The lowest concentration of an analyze in a sample that can be detected but not necessarily quantified under the stated experimental condition.
 
The limit of detection will be evaluated based on the standard deviation of the response and slope.
 
The detection limit may express as:
          3.3 x δ
DL = ------------
             S
where
S = the slope of the calibration curve
δ = standard error of the linear regression
The calibration curve should be studied using samples containing an analyte in the range of DL. The standard error of the linear regression (STEYX) is used as standard deviation and it can be calculated by Microsoft Excel.
