Mean delivered volume (µL)

Mean mass/density; buoyancy correction not inferred.

Systematic error (%)

100(mean volume−nominal)/nominal.

Repeatability CV (%)

100 sample SD/mean volume.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Water masses, density correction, nominal volumes. Returns Bias and repeatability estimates. 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. Net dispensed water masses (mg): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Water density (mg/µL): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Nominal dispense volume (µL): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0.
