The term "analytical limit," as used herein, is the concentration at which the laboratory can measure a radionuclide with a precision of ± 100 percent at the 90 percent confidence level. The detection limit for a specific radionuclide varies with sample type, sample size, counting time, and the amounts of interfering radionuclides present. The "analytical limits" represent upper bounds to these fluctuating detection limits.
