Good afternoon everyone,
I work in a company where we do analysis of medical material elements with ICP-MS. At the time the LOD and LOQ were calculated with the following formula.
LOD=(C1-C0)*3SD/(I1-I0)
Where:
- C1 = concentration of the high sample
- C0 = concentration of the blank
- I1 = raw intensity of the high sample (cps)
- I0 = raw intensity of the blank (cps)
I had always used a simpler formula, although it is similar. The problem is that I can't find too many references to this formula and I don't know if it appears in any Guideline.
Could someone help me?
Thank you very much!
