Several factors can impact the quantification limits in epidemiological studies:
1. Analytical Techniques: The technology and methods used for detection, such as PCR, ELISA, or mass spectrometry, have varying sensitivities. 2. Sample Quality: The integrity and preparation of the sample can affect the measurement accuracy. 3. Environmental Conditions: Variables such as temperature, humidity, and contamination can influence results. 4. Statistical Variability: Random errors and biases can alter the perceived quantification limits.
