Abstract

This paper investigates the contributions of sample preparation to the analytical lower limits of detection and errors for the quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis of a simple, binary system of quartz and calcite. This study further demonstrates the danger of using only statistical and instrumental contributions to detection limits and analytical errors.
