Concentration Score

Flux & Energy
A percentage measuring how much of the total measured field intensity at the accessory surface lands in the therapeutic core (scan points where Gauss is at or above 35% of peak). It's calculated as the sum of Gauss values at those points divided by the total sum of all measured Gauss values within the coil boundary. This is a surface concentration metric. It measures lateral field distribution across the face of the accessory, not depth penetration. The threshold was 50% of peak before August 2026; it was lowered to 35% because 50% proved too strict a definition of a strong field, and scores published before that date are not directly comparable to scores published after it. Across the accessories Gauss Labs has measured at the current threshold, discs score between 74% and 98%, and loops and rings between 58% and 100%. The formula is geometry-independent, so the same calculation applies to all coil types. Compare scores within the same coil type for meaningful benchmarks.

Concentration score: the value gauge and the field core it measuresOn the left, a semicircular gauge shows concentration score as a percentage, the same gauge the report uses. On the right, the field bell it measures: the central region at or above 35 percent of peak is the therapeutic core, and the score is the share of the field that lands inside it. A tightly focused coil scores high; a broad coil scores lower.80%core field0%100%Concentration ScoreThe field it measures35%Core (≥ 35% of peak)© 2026 Gauss Labs
Concentration score asks how much of the field lands in its strongest zone. The gauge on the left is that score as a percentage, the same gauge the report shows. On the right is the field it measures: the core is the region at or above 35 percent of the peak strength, and the score is the share of the field inside it. A tightly focused coil puts most of its field in the core and scores high; a broad coil spreads it out and scores lower. It describes focus at the surface, not depth.
