Particle distribution parameters D10, D50, and D90 are derived from the ordered cumulative size distribution and indicate the microtissue size cutoff point where 10%, 50%, and 90% of microtissues respectively are below this size. The span, calculated as span=(D90D10)/D50 is used to describe the distribution range. The predicted tissue volume per well is calculated as the amount of theoretical microwells per well times the average volume per microtissue, corrected for the amount of empty microwells.
