What are Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantitation(LOQ). A new method for determining the herbicide atrazine in waterresults in a linear calibration curve at low-to-moderate levels ofthis analyte (µg/L). The best fitting line for this curve isy=0.235(±0.001)*x+0.028(±0.006), where y is the measured response,x is the concentration of atrazine, and the value in parenthesisare the s of the best-fitting slope and intercept. From these data,estimate the lower limit of detection (lower LOD) and lower limitof quantitation (LOQ) for this study.
