    GlossaryPositive Control

    known treatment ensuring experimental setup works correctly

    A positive control is a part of an experiment that uses a treatment known to produce a specific, expected outcome. This helps to confirm that the experimental setup is working correctly. For example, in a study on hair growth treatments, a positive control might be a well-known hair growth product that has been proven effective, ensuring that the experimental conditions can indeed produce hair growth if the treatment is effective.
