Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-007105

The minimum value of a measured quantity that an instrument or method can detect and respond to. Any values below this point are not registered or are considered indistinguishable from background noise. This limit defines the lower boundary of an instrument's operational range for detection.
