Description

Supplied extract/carrier ledger arithmetic without preparation instructions or therapeutic claims.

Botanical laboratory records distinguish wet mass, dry matter, carriers, extract mass, and assay response. A fraction or reference comparison depends on the chosen material basis and supplied analytical method. Voucher and monograph metadata help identify records but do not themselves authenticate a specimen or establish product quality.

Supplied extract/carrier ledger arithmetic without preparation instructions or therapeutic claims.

When to use this tool

Use Extract Carrier Mass Exclusion when you need this mass-basis, assay-response, extraction, or source-record calculation for supplied laboratory data.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter grossMass, carrierMass, tareMass, excludeCarrier. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read reportedMass, carrierFraction. Use the output convention below.

For nonnegative grossMass, carrierMass, and tareMass with carrier+tare<=gross return reportedMass=grossMass-tareMass minus carrierMass if excludeCarrier. Return carrierFraction=carrierMass/(grossMass-tareMass) when positive, otherwise zero.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • Masses need one unit. CarrierFraction always uses the tare-free gross base regardless of excludeCarrier; its zero-denominator convention has no separate flag and does not verify native extract purity.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use the appropriate authenticated reference material, analytical protocol, and source records for a full laboratory assessment. Verify moisture basis, response factors, and extract/carrier definitions before comparing results.
