Poisson distribution calculator

You can use the calculator below to determine what the occupancy distribution will be for a particular concentration of cells or particles in your starting sample given the size of the microfluidic droplets in which they are being encapsulated.

When encapsulating particles or cells in droplets they are statistically distributed according to the formula named after Siméon Denis Poisson.

 

 

Enter either Particles/mL or Average/droplet. The other value is calculated automatically.
