Back to Basics – Detection Limits

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Bench Boost, our team discusses detection limits. They cover the differences between instrument detection limits and method detection limits, detailing how each is calculated and the importance of optimizing conditions to achieve the lowest possible detection limits. The discussion includes practical tips for enhancing detection limits through sensitivity adjustments, stable measurements, and proper sample preparation. The need for periodic reevaluation of detection limits to maintain accuracy as instruments age and methods change is also highlighted.
