Correlation between the LOD, sensitivity and the standard deviation is depicted. The slope of the dotted line is by definition the average sensitivity over the concentration range from 0 to LOD. On the other hand, this slope equals three times the standard deviation divided by LOD. Therefore, LOD is proportional to the SD divided by the sensitivity.
