Real geological samples rarely exhibit a specific number of mineral components. Such samples are composed of a multitude of minerals that are qualitatively referred to as major, minor, and trace components. The sensitivity of the particular analytical method limits our ability to resolve these minerals. Here we determine the number of mineral components (NC) from the elgenanalysls of the raw data matrix. The raw data matrix Is approximated by a successively Increasing number of eigenvectors. When this approximated data matrix Is within the expected uncertainty of the data, we... 

The lower end of the working range is limited by the detection capabihties of the analytical method. Limit of detection and limit of quantification (sometimes also called limit of quantitation or limit of determination) describe these capabilities of the method. 

Cleaning of product contact surfaces (cleaning procedure/sampling plan/analytical method) limits practical, achievable, and verifiable.
