Abstract:

Electron capture detectors (ECDs) are known to have a limited linear calibration range. It was demonstrated that for ECDs, curvilinear calibration models yield more accurate results. To estimate the minimum detectable value (MDV), the ISO 11843-2 procedure was modified for curvilinear calibration graphs. At first, the graphs were linearized. The MDV was assessed with formulas based on the estimation of the MDV in the linear calibration case. Alternatively, the MDV was determined by a method based on confidence intervals for a second-order calibration plot. There was a close correspondence b…
