Question

GenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect normal levels of dissolved immunoglobin A (10. to 30./μgmL), using a blood sample that is as small as 2.0mL. Calculate the minimum mass in milligrams of acetaminophen that the new system must be able to detect. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer 1

The minimum concentration of acetaminophen that can be detected by new= 10μg/mL

Volume of blood sample=2ml

Minimum mass of acetaminophen that can be detected by automated system= 10×2= 20μg= 0.020mg
