Laboratory cell viability count calculator

Calculate observed viability and wilson95 viability interval with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use observed viability and wilson95 viability interval to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Live-dead counts, classification rules. Returns Observed viability fraction. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Classified live cells: minimum 0, maximum 100000000. Classified dead cells: minimum 0, maximum 100000000.
