Abstract
Derivation of the limit equations required an empirically determined relation between the signal strength and the signal's relative standard deviation (signal noise function). A single hyperbolic signal noise function was used to describe the behaviour of isotope ion signals of Ni, Cu, Tl and Pb measured using a plasma source double focusing magnetic sector mass spectrometer. The derivation could be extended to accommodate different signal noise functions.
