Evaluation of IUPAC limit of detection and ISO minimum detectable value - electrochemical determination of lead
Jan Mocák, I. Janiga, Estera Rábarová
Abstract
The way of calculating the limit of detection recommended by IUPAC is compared to the minimum detectable value used by ISO as one of the most important performance characteristics of a measurement process. In this work, theoretical analysis of both characteristics is given together with directions for their practical use. Calculations are exemplified using electrochemical trace analysis of lead in surface water.
