skos:definition "The 'radioactivity' which, if present in a sample, produces a counting rate <br/>
that will be detected (i.e. considered to be above 'background') with a certain <br/>level of confidence.<br/>
The ‘certain level of confidence’ is normally set at 95%, i.e. a sample <br/>containing exactly the 'minimum detectable activity' will, as a result of random <br/>fluctuations, be taken to be free of 'radioactivity' 5% of the time.<br/>The 'minimum detectable activity' is sometimes referred to as the <i><b>detection <br/>limit</b></i> or <i><b>lower limit of detection</b></i>. The counting rate from a sample containing <br/>the 'minimum detectable activity' is termed the <i><b>determination level</b></i>.<br/>" (en)
