GC LOD Standard SD Calculator – Standard Deviation From Known Standard

Use this GC LOD Standard SD calculator to determine LOD for your chromatographic method using the formula LOD = 3*SD. It updates LOD and LOQ results instantly upon any changes.


GC LOD Standard SD Calculator Interface


What inputs are required ?

  • Concentration of the target compound from a known standard
  • Min 8 x peak areas of a target peak from the known standard runs

What the GC LOD Standard SD Calculator Outputs

  • Average of the peak areas of the target peak
  • Standard deviation of the peak areas of the target peak
  • Detection limit (LOD)
  • Ratio of known concentration versus the detection limit (LOD)
  • Quantitation limit (LOQ)
