Use this GC LOD Area Calculator to determine LOD for your chromatographic method using the formula LOD = Factor × Noise × Concentration × Width1/2 × 60 ÷ Peak Area.
GC LOD Area Calculator Interface
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 Area Calculator Outputs
- Detection limit (LOD)
- Ratio of known concentration versus the detection limit (LOD)
- Quantitation limit (LOQ)
