The calculation is based on the formula developed in
Thomen et al., ACS Nano, 2020 :
[Drug] = (δ

ROIPDB-
δ

13C
where
N13C is the number of
13C per pure drug molecule.
The detection limit of the drug is calculated as :

where
depth is the depth at which the use clicked on the plot,

Ip is the primary current in pA.
Depth_nm is the depth clicked on the plot by the mouse.
Uncertainty_mM is the uncertainty on the
Concentration_mM
defined as a Poisson uncertainty.
Cube_edge_nm is the length of the edge of a
cube equivalent to the cylindrical volume of the
