Recovery Recovery is used instead of bias for “seasoned” samples, since the component concentration level was not determined independently of the test method. It is defined as the calculated mean for the “seasoned” sample with a standard addition of the component minus the mean for the “seasoned” sample, divided by the actual amount of the standard addition. It is expressed as a percentage. The table below shows whether or not a recovery is statistically or practically different from 100
