TLDR
The presented review provides information relating to the calculation of the limit of detection and limit of quantitation.
Abstract
The quality of an analytical method developed is always appraised in terms of suitability for its intended purpose, recovery, requirement for standardization, sensitivity, analyte stability, ease of analysis, skill subset required, time and cost in that order. It is highly imperative to establish through a systematic process that the analytical method under question is acceptable for its intended purpose. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) are two important performance characteristics in method validation. LOD and LOQ are terms used to describe the smallest concentration of an analyte that can be reliably measured by an analytical procedure. There has often been a lack of agreement within the clinical laboratory field as to the terminology best suited to describe this parameter. Likewise, there have been various methods for estimating it. The presented review provides information relating to the calculation of the limit of detection and limit of quantitation. Brief information about differences in various regulatory agencies about these parameters is also presented here.

Biological imaging without autofluorescence in the second near-infrared region

TL;DR: It is reported that fluorescence imaging in the 1,500–1,700-nm region (termed “NIR-IIb”) under 808-nm excitation results in nearly zero tissue autofluorescence, allowing for background-free imaging of fluorescent species in otherwise notoriously aut ofluorescent biological tissues, including liver.

Comparison of various international guidelines for analytical method validation.

TL;DR: Analytical method validation is the systematic process of establishing that an analytical method is acceptable for its intended purpose as mentioned in this paper, which has a direct impact on the quality of the above data, such validated analytical methods for qualitative or quantitative testing of drug molecules assume greater importance when they are employed to generate quality and safety compliance data during development and postapproval of drug products.
