The detection capabilities of SP-ICP-MS are therefore not only limited to the concentration domains (of particles and dissolved related species), but also to the mass of element per particle and particle size domains. Discrimination and detection of particle events, based on the use of robust limits of decision (also known as critical values), and the estimation of the limits of detection in the different domains, require standardized metrological approaches that have not been clearly established yet. As a consequence, harmonized approaches and expressions to allow reliable comparisons between methods and instruments, as well as to process SP-ICP-MS data, are required. This paper is an attempt to summarize and review the different approaches applied up to now in relation to the detectability in SP-ICP-MS, and highlight the peculiarities of this topic in SP-ICP-MS. A holistic approach with criteria and expressions for the estimation of the different critical values and limits of detection in terms of the different instrumental and experimental parameters involved is proposed. Additionally, a calculation tool for estimating and predicting critical values and limits of detection under different experimental conditions is also included. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RTI2018-096111-B-100 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 3.752 2020 SPECTROSCOPY 8 / 43 = 0.186 2020 Q1 T1 0.793 2020 Analytical Chemistry 2020 Q1 Spectroscopy 2020 Q1 Instrumentation 2020 Q1 Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Gimenez-Ingalaturre, Ana C.
