Linear range

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006631",
  "term": "Linear range",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The concentration interval over which an analytical method provides a detector response that is directly proportional to the analyte concentration. Within this range, a calibration curve can be accurately represented by a straight line. The upper and lower limits of the linear range are determined by the point at which the response deviates significantly from linearity.",
