title: The performance characteristics of analytical methods-III.
abstract: The range of concentrations covered by an analytical method is an important performance-characteristic, and suggestions are made for definition of this range. The ability to detect small concentrations are also considered, and it is suggested that the standard deviation of blank determinations be quoted as the performance-characteristic relevant to the power of detection.
