At what frequency do you have 1 nv per square root Hz with opamp and
what opamp ?
    The 1/f region is the  killer and if it is a low frequency shift in the 
input
effectively changing the threshold then you have to be concerned about the
1/f region.
   Discrete embedded JFETs have the best 1/f  of all such as the IF3601.
