Minimum Detectable Activity

["Amoling, Ron" <Ron.Amoling@joslin.harvard.edu>]

Hello

Does anyone have a quick and easy equation for calculating the Minimum
Detectable Activity (MDA) for an instrument?  In this case, the instrument
is a liquid scintillation counter.  My references are not with me at the
office today......

Thanks,
