Popis: The limit of determination is estimated using different approaches. In one of them it is believed that the limits of detection and determination fundamentally correlate with each other and the limit of determination can be found via the limit detection by multiplying the latter by different coefficients, the choice of which is in some cases insufficiently well substantiated. In this work, a correlation between the limits of determination and detection is studied based on experimental data of the X-ray fluorescence analysis of mineral substances for the major and trace components. We found no functional dependence between the studied values; therefore, the results obtained in the above approach to estimation of the limit of determination are ambiguous.
