What inputs are required ?

  • Noise factor
  • Peak-to-peak noise before or after a target peak
  • Known concentration of the target compound
  • Peak area of the target peak
  • Peak width at half height of the target peak

What the GC LOD Calculator Outputs

  • Detection limit (LOD)
  • Ratio of known concentration versus the detection limit (LOD)
  • Quantitation limit (LOQ)
