Material/reagents
• 1 nM fluorescein (in 0.01 M NaOH) (fluorescein sodium salt)
• 0.01 M NaOH (=blank solution) (NaOH pellets)
• 96-well plate
• 200 µL pipette with tips
Calculating the detection limit (sensitivity)
The result of the detection limit formula specifies the sensitivity in pM units.
Precision within a plate
Carry out the following measurement to determine the precision and reproducibility within a plate.
