A New Technique Using Low Volumes: A New Technique to Assess the Molluscicidal Activity Using Low Volumes

Table 4

A simple interpretation of screening assay quality by the value or the factor.

factor	Interpretation
1.0	Ideal factors can never exceed 1
Between 0.5 and 1.0	An excellent assay. Note that if , 0.5 is equivalent to separation of 12 standard deviations between and
Between 0 and 0.5	A marginal assay
Less than 0	There is too much overlap between the positive and negative controls for the assay to be useful
