Sensitivity is the smallest change in concentration of the analyze that can be detected by using that method. This is the slope of the calibration curve.
Detection limit is the lowest concentration that can be detected by the particular method.
Although this would in part depend the size of the protein being separated and stained (for some staining methods), the largest factor that determines sensitivity of SDS-PAGE is the type of staining method used: - If staining is done with coomassie brilliant blue, the limit of detection claimed by most suppliers is 50 ng. In my experience, 100-1000 ng is more accurate for proteins of 20-30 kDa. - If staining is done with silver stain, the limit of detection is much lower (or higher sensitivity). Manufacturers usually claim that 5-50 ng of protein can be visualized, but in my experience 50 ng is the lower limit for average sized proteins (20-30 kDa). - If visualization is accomplished with an enzyme immunoassay, the limit of detection is lower still, as low as 0.1-1 ng (100-1000 pg). - If visualization is accomplished with radio immunoassay the limit of detection becomes much lower again, easily to the picogram level (0.001 ng).

Advantage: non-destructive to the sample Disadvantage: High detection limit
As per W.H.O the limit for hardness in water is in between (60-11)mg/L....
The Richter scale has no theoretical upper or lower limit, in practical terms however the lowest level is dependent on the sensitivity of modern seismometers. As their sensitivity increases the minimum possible Richter magnitude will decrease. The maximum practical earthquake magnitude that the Richter scale can detect is a magnitude 8.0 event.

Under the detection limit can vary. Between 3-7 days, depending on daily amount and usage.
Early detection of high blood pressure can limit damage to your heart and arteries!

No. Its brightness is below the limit of sensitivity for the unaided human eye.
There's no set limit, it depends on the power of the laser and the sensitivity of the receiver.
