English term or phrase: threshold pH change
Buenas!

Entiendo la idea pero no sé muy bien cómo traducir "threshold" aquí:

"The mixture of claim 2 or 3, wherein the predetermined threshold pH change to be detected is the limit of detection of said pH sensor exposed to the mixture during said amplification"

"La mezcla de la reivindicación 2 o 3, en la que el cambio de pH umbral predeterminado para ser detectado es el límite de detección de dicho sensor de pH expuesto a la mezcla durante la amplificación."

"Cambio umbral del pH", "Cámbio mínimo del pH"??

Es como que el cambio tope, que de ahí no puede pasar...

Gracias!

el valor umbral de cambio de pH
Explanation:
The text refers to a spefic value of pH; the sensor is capable of detecting (limit of detection) when the pH falls below (or rises above, as the case maybe - the text doesn't specify) a preset value (the threshold).

But I'm not sure where "predeterminado" should go, as I'm not a native Spanish speaker:
el valor umbral predeterminado de cambio de pH, or
el valor umbral de cambio de pH predeterminado

Asker: Pero no sé cómo cuadrar "sensibilidad " en esa frase! Sensibilidad de cambio del pH? no me acaba de cuadrar...

disagree  Robert Carter: You haven't explained how "sensibilidad" can work as a translation. Sensitivity and threshold are not synonyms.

  -> Thanks Melisa, me too, I thought "am I missing something here?" I think sensitivity does relate to the limit of detection, that is the LoD depends on the sensitivity, but the threashold doesn't.

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Perfecto. Aunque no necesitas explicitar "valor"; ... el umbral predefinido que determina el cambio de pH es... [... el umbral predeterminado que detecta el cambio de pH] // Buen finde!! ;)
