Limit of detection question?
Update:
You want to determine the amount of cholesterol in the blood of a newborn infant. You know it will be around 5 mM. The detection limit of the method you are going to use is about 20 nm and you can only take about 20 microliters of blood.

5 mmol/L * 20 μL = 1x10^-7 mol = 100 nmol. So yes, this should be enough.
