Calculation method
Calculation method
Vial retrieval index [ID,box,slot]
Fill ascending slots across boxes, skipping explicit reserved positions.
Boxes occupied
Highest allocated box number.
Symbols and units
- a
- Vial IDs comma separated
- b
- Slots per box
- c
- Reserved positions as JSON [box 1-based,slot 1-based]
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Vials, box-slot capacities, reserved positions. Returns Storage allocation and retrieval index. 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. Slots per box: minimum 1, maximum 1000.
