Glossary

Methods ability to obtain signals, which are directly proportional to the concentration of analyte in the sample.

Range of concentrations where the signals are directly proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample.

Limit of detection: the smallest amount or concentration of analyte in the test sample that can be reliably distinguished from zero.

Limit of quantitation: the lowest concentration of analyte that can be determined with an acceptable repeatability and trueness.
