What Does LOD Stand For?
LOD stands for Limit Of Detection
Limit of Detection (LOD) refers to the lowest concentration of a substance that can be reliably distinguished from the absence of that substance in a given analytical method. It is a critical parameter in analytical chemistry, ensuring that measurements are meaningful in the presence of background noise. The LOD is essential for determining the sensitivity of a method and plays a vital role in fields such as environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and clinical diagnostics.
