“…S3. † In addition, the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the 3, 8, 15, 20, 30 and 40 mg L À1 solutions for each dye (2,5,8,12,16 and 20 mg L À1 for Auramine O) obtained from the RGB and spectral data are also presented in Table 2. As revealed in Table 2, the LOD calculated with ÀB/I for each dye is higher than that calculated with absorbance, while the RSDs obtained from ÀB/I are in a lower range than those obtained from absorbance.…”
