Limit of detection (LOD) and sensitivity were regards as synonymous in most of the QPCR publication works in the past. However, it has been controversially discussed as:

(a) LOD refers to the lowest amount of analyte that could be reliably detected in the sample;

(b) Analytical sensitivity refers to the capacity of method to differentiate between two very close concentration of analyte.

Can anyone enlighten me on this please ?
