I guess you are talking about detection limit only, not quantification limit, right? The answer largely depends on your material (scattering power, domain size), tube (sampling volume) and counting time. I have seen cases where you can clearly see something below 0.1 wt% and cases where already the percent was off limits. Matteo

In there any reference for this. I am using the new Empyrean from PANalytical. Thanks Apu Department of Nuclear Engineering NC State University Raleigh, USA
