Abstract

In this paper, the formula of lower limit of detection considering the measuring time of sample and background was derived using the basic concepts of lower limit of detection. Among parameters affecting the determination of MDA value, the MDA values were calculated with variation of amount of sample and measuring time of sample and background. The results of adequate division between the measuring time of sample and that of background studied in this research make it possible to evaluate confidence limits on the radio analytical results in the environmental sample.
