Use Flow Positive % when you need to compute the percentage of positive events recorded by a flow cytometry run as positive events divided by total events times one hundred. Enter Positive events and Total events using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.

Positive events

Number of events classified as positive; must not exceed the total event count.

Total events

Total number of recorded events; must be greater than zero.

The published tool contract uses this rule: Compute the percentage of positive events recorded by a flow cytometry run as positive events divided by total events times one hundred.

Positive percent

Percentage of events that are positive.

A ratio or percentage can conceal the scale of its numerator and denominator and becomes sensitive to measurement error when the denominator is small.

Retain the original Positive events and Total events values and their units alongside the result. Canopy Cover % is useful when you instead need to compute canopy cover as canopy area divided by total plot area times 100. Bioavailability % provides another view by helping you compute oral bioavailability as a percentage from AUC and dose comparisons.

• Canopy Cover %

  Compute canopy cover as canopy area divided by total plot area times 100.

• Bioavailability %

  Compute oral bioavailability as a percentage from AUC and dose comparisons.

• Germination Percentage

  Compute germination percentage as germinated seeds divided by seeds sown times one hundred.
