Talk:Limit of detection

Discussion page·2 threads·no archives

This is the discussion page for the article Limit of detection. It is for improving the article: sources, wording, structure, scope and titles. It is not a general discussion forum about the subject, and it is not a place to ask for advice — see Project:Medical disclaimer.

The inverted readingResolved

"The one listing more impurities may simply be looking harder" is counter-intuitive and correct. It deserves to be stated as plainly as it now is. — LOD_Lorcan (talk) 10:25, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

It also gives readers a reason to prefer itemised related-substances tables over aggregate figures, which is a useful practical consequence. ✓ Done — COA_Colwyn (talk) 14:00, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Resolved. This thread is closed. Reopening it is fine if new sources appear; please add a new subsection rather than editing the closed discussion.

Threshold table scope

The threshold table is drawn from pharmaceutical impurity guidance that does not formally apply to research chemicals. Should the article say so? — ScopeSeverin (talk) 09:15, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

It should, and the surrounding text does say "in pharmaceutical practice". The table is offered as vocabulary rather than as a standard anyone is bound by. — LOD_Lorcan (talk) 12:50, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
