Upper limit of measurement

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013682",
  "term": "Upper limit of measurement",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The highest value of a quantity that a measuring instrument or method can reliably determine while maintaining specified accuracy and precision. Exceeding this limit can lead to saturation of the detector or other non-linear responses, rendering the measurement invalid. For many analytical techniques, this limit is defined by the linear range of the calibration curve.",
