Question 1

What is the Method Detection Limit (MDL)?

  • The lowest concentration detectable by a method
  • The highest concentration measurable
  • The average concentration in a sample

💡 Hint: Think about how low a measurement can go and still be valid.

Question 2

True or False: A reading of zero from an instrument confirms that no analyte is present.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember what MDLs indicate about detection capabilities.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A testing laboratory has an instrument with an MDL of 0.01 mg/mL. They analyze a water sample with a suspected concentration of 0.008 mg/mL. Discuss the implications of their findings.

💡 Hint: Consider how undetected substances may affect assessments.

Question 2

Explain how changing the sampling method could influence the MDL of a particular analyte in a given environmental sample.

💡 Hint: Think about how different approaches might change results.
