About the Serial Dilution Calculator
Plans a dilution series, solves for the required factor, or back-calculates CFU/mL.
What it is
Three modes: a fixed-factor dilution series generator, a solve-for-factor mode that computes equal log-steps to hit a target concentration, and a CFU/mL reverse-calculation mode for microbiology plate counts.
Features
Forward planning
Per-step and cumulative dilution factor, volumes, and concentration.
Solve-for-factor
Computes the equal per-step factor to hit a target concentration.
CFU/mL mode
Back-calculates original concentration from plated colony counts.
