Dynamic range

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-003499

The span between the smallest and largest values that an instrument or system can accurately measure. It represents the ratio of the maximum detectable signal to the minimum detectable signal. For analytical instruments, this range is typically expressed in decibels or as a simple ratio.
