Figure 2From: Limit of blank and limit of detection of Plasmodium falciparum thick blood smear microscopy in a routine setting in Central AfricaExample for the distribution of a negative sample and one hypothetical low-level sample whose concentration is equal to the LOD. In that case 95% (100%-β) of the measurements exceed the LOB. On the other hand, 95% of the measurements of the negative sample (100%-α) are below the LOB. Adapted from [14].Back to article page
