About the Book
In simple terms, if a chemical analyte is present at, or above, the limit of detection,it has low a priori-specified probability of escaping detection. This is distinct from the formerly used decision level, that is, the level above which there is low apriori-specified probability of obtaining a false positive from a true analytical blank. In some cases, qualitative detection of analyte is sufficient, but in many other cases, quantification is also desired or required, for example, total arsenic concentration in a source of potable water. In this case, the concept of limit of quantitation is also relevant because meaningful quantification is not possible at the limit of detection. Limits of Detection in Chemical Analysis details methods for computing valid, unbiased limits of detection. It correctly and clearly explains analytical detection limit theory, thereby mitigating against incorrect detection limit concepts, methodologies, and results. The book focuses exclusively on how limits of detection are correctly defined and computed for ordinary univariate chemical measurement systems. The book features:
