The relative standard deviation, RSD, of such measurements is given by RSD = 1 0 0 u / ~= 1 0 0 / ( 2 ~ ~=. 3% ~~) (6) This hardly constitutes suitable precision for quantitative analysis, which should have a RSD of 10% or less. For a RSD of lo%, a further term can be defined called the determination limit, Figure 5(d), Determination Limit = 10ub (7) When comparing methods, therefore, the defining equations should be identified and the definitions used should be agreed. As we can see, the limits of quantitative analysis are influenced by the noise in the system and to improve the detection limit it is necessary to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio.

At its simplest this may involve no more than scaling each spectrum in a collection so that the most intense band in each spectrum is some constant value. Alternatively, spectra could be normalized to constant area under the curve of the absorption or emission profile. A more sophisticated procedure involves constructing a covariance matrix between variates and extracting the eigenvectors and eigenvalues. Eigen analysis yields a set of new variables which are linear combinations of the original variables.

Analytical terms dependent on the noise contained in the signal are the decision limit, the detection limit, and the determination limit. These analytical figures of merit are often quoted by instrument manufacturers and a knowledge of their calculation is important in evaluating and comparing instrument performance in terms of analytical sensitivity. 4 Detection Limits The concept of an analytical detection limit implies that we can make a qualitative decision regarding the presence or absence of analyte in a sample.
