What Techniques Are Used to Measure Detection Limits?
Several techniques are employed to measure detection limits in nanotechnology, some of which include:
1. Spectroscopy: This includes techniques like Raman spectroscopy and Fluorescence spectroscopy that can detect small quantities of substances based on their interaction with light. 2. Electrochemical Sensors: These sensors rely on the electrical properties of materials at the nanoscale to detect substances. 3. Mass Spectrometry: This technique can identify and quantify minute quantities of substances by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. 4. Scanning Probe Microscopy: Techniques like Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) can be used to detect physical changes at the nanoscale.
