Detection sensitivity is vital for several reasons:
1. Optimization of Catalytic Processes: Enhanced sensitivity allows for the fine-tuning of reaction conditions to maximize yield and minimize unwanted by-products. 2. Environmental Monitoring: Detecting trace amounts of pollutants or hazardous substances helps in maintaining environmental standards. 3. Medical Applications: In biochemical catalysis, high sensitivity is essential for detecting minute amounts of enzymes or other biological catalysts, which can be critical for diagnosing diseases.
