How To Calculate Lc50 Using Probit Analysis

Calculate LC50 using Probit Analysis

LC50 calculation using Probit Analysis is crucial in toxicology and pharmacology to determine the median lethal dose of a substance. Our interactive tool simplifies this process.

  1. Enter the dose in the ‘Dose’ field.
  2. Select the response (‘Dead’ or ‘Alive’) in the ‘Response’ dropdown.
  3. Click ‘Calculate’.

The Probit Analysis uses the following formula to calculate LC50:

Probit Analysis Formula

Substance Dose (mg/kg) Response LC50 (mg/kg)
Dose (mg/kg) Response Probit Value
  • Always use a minimum of 5 doses to ensure accurate results.
  • Ensure the response is binary (dead or alive).
