Measurements explained

BactoBox® outputs two concentrations: cells/mL and total/mL.

Concentrations: cells/mL and total/mL

BactoBox® outputs two concentrations: cells/mL and total/mL. BactoBox® also computes other/mL but does not present it directly in the user interface.

BactoBox® counts and classifies individual particles in your sample vial. Gating results in two categories: other and cells. Combined, other and cells give total. On the Results screen (see Dash), you find the corresponding cells/mL and total/mL concentrations.

We don't show other/mL concentration directly on the Results screen. You find other/mL in the csv.summary file (see summary.csv).

Gating determines the category names

The category names (e.g., cells and total) follow the gating. In some gating settings, the category names are intact cells, custom cells, and total particles.
