Even we know that the replicate (n) should be n>=2. I want to hear all your opinion regarding this issue. Is there a specific formula to determine number of replicate mathematically?

Usually in mini tab there is a method to calculate the sample size. This depends on the std Deviation you want.

Based on this you can calculate the sample size which indirectly gives you the number of replicates
