Precision limit

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009356",
  "term": "Precision limit",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The smallest difference between two measurement results that can be distinguished from random variation under repeatability conditions. This limit is determined by the inherent variability of the measurement procedure and the instrument. It represents the minimum detectable difference between two values obtained from the same sample under identical conditions.",
