Kinetics Methodology
Raw OD600 values are non-linear at higher densities due to secondary light scattering. We apply a calibrated 4th-order polynomial to determine true cell density. Doubling time (g) is derived from the growth rate (μ) using non-linear regression.
Incubation Window
Define your Start and End times. The system calculates duration to determine starting OD.
Target Specifications
Set desired Density and Volume. Log-phase harvest is usually OD600 0.5 - 0.8.
Source Culture
Enter Measured OD. Use Dilution Factor if you measured a diluted sample (e.g., enter 10 for a 1:10 dilution).
Doubling Time (DT)
Default S. cerevisiae is 1.5h. Override for specific strains or temperatures.
