How to calculate laboratory sample recovery
This calculator finds sample recovery percentage by comparing the amount recovered after processing to the initial amount.
How the calculation works
Recovery = (Recovered amount ÷ Initial amount) × 100.
Example
85 mg recovered from an initial 100 mg sample: (85÷100)×100 = 85%.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Laboratory Sample Recovery
- Recovery percentage is a standard quality check for extraction, purification, and sample-prep protocols.
- Track recovery across replicate runs to assess protocol consistency, not just a single run's result.
Common Laboratory Sample Recovery Mistakes to Avoid
- Judging a protocol's reliability from a single recovery measurement rather than multiple replicate runs.
