How to calculate laboratory sample recovery

This calculator finds sample recovery percentage by comparing the amount recovered after processing to the initial amount.

How the calculation works

Recovery = (Recovered amount ÷ Initial amount) × 100.

Example

85 mg recovered from an initial 100 mg sample: (85÷100)×100 = 85%.

Frequently asked questions

How is Result calculated?

Result = ([Recovered amount] ÷ [Initial amount]) × 100.

Pro Tips for Laboratory Sample Recovery

  1. Recovery percentage is a standard quality check for extraction, purification, and sample-prep protocols.
  2. Track recovery across replicate runs to assess protocol consistency, not just a single run's result.

Common Laboratory Sample Recovery Mistakes to Avoid

  • Judging a protocol's reliability from a single recovery measurement rather than multiple replicate runs.
