Tools: Bacteria Growth Calculator

The Calculator estimates the growth rate of bacteria in the preparation of chemical- or electro-competent cells. The program may be used also for other organisms in the logarithmic stage of growth. It is possible to evaluate the precision of prognosis.

The first measurement was days before at:
   h* min* => OD1 = *
The second measurement was today at:
   h* min* => OD2 = *


Bacterial culture will reach the indicated density after days at:
