DailyCalcs turns your phone into a science calculator to simplify everyday tasks in the lab. Eight calculators, including a new Specific Productivity Calculator for use with fed-batch cell culture processes and a Transfection calculator you can use to simplify transfection experimental setup. The Specific Productivity Calculator for fed-batch cell culture processes takes into account Duration of Culture (Days), VCD and Titer levels to calculate early and late qP results. Next step recommendations are suggested based on the calculations, with an in-app ability to email your results for consultation assistance. The Transfection calculator addresses the transfection reagent, number of samples, the vessel size, and number of replicates and it calculates the exact amounts of all necessary reagents and media for your experiment. This application features the 8 following calculators absolutely free: 1. Molarity Calculator The Molarity Calculator tool will allow you to find the mass required to prepare a solution of known volume & concentration, find the volume of solution required to dissolve a known mass to a specific molarity or find a concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass & volume. 2. Dilution Calculator The Dilution Calculator tool will allow you to determine the required volume of a stock solution of known concentration to make a final solution of desired volume & concentration. This tool greatly simplifies the everyday tasks of making solutions in the lab. 3. Molecular Weight Calculator The Molecular Weight Calculator will compute the average molecular weight (MW) of molecules by entering in the chemical formula (i.e. C3H2O4). Supports complex molecules such as "C3H2(NO)4" & "C3H2Cl4.(H2O)3" & is linked into the Molarity Calculator to work in tandem for molarity calculations. 4. Cell Culture Reference Charts Reference charts for cell culture dishes, plates & flasks showing vital data such as growth surface area, cell seeding density, number of cells at confluency, volume of growth media necessary & required versene or trypsin volume for cell detachment. 5. Unit Converter A comprehensive unit converter tool capable of converting over 44 units in 7 different types of measurements including the following: Distance converter (m, ft, in, cm, mm, yards & km) Speed converter (m/sec, ft/sec, in/sec, cm/sec, km/sec, miles/sec, miles/hr, km/hr, knots) Area converter (m2, ft2, in2, yd2, acres, km2, miles2) Volume converter (liters, m3, cm3, ft3, in3, yards3) Weight converter (kg, g, oz, lbs, tons) Temperature converter (Celcius, Farenheit, Kelvin) Molar converter (mole, mM, μmol, nmol, pmol, fmol). 6. Conversions for Media Unit of measure conversion tool for powder and AGT media that converts Gibco powder and AGT media products between KG and L. 7. Specific Productivity Calculator The Specific Productivity Calculator for fed-batch cell culture processes takes into account Duration of Culture (Days), VCD and Titer levels to calculate early and late qP results. Next step recommendations are suggested based on the calculations, with an in-app ability to email your results for consultation assistance. 8. Transfection Calculator Transfection calculator – simplify transfection experimental setup with this new calculator. Just specify the transfection reagent, number of samples, the vessel size, and number of replicates and it calculates the exact amounts of all necessary reagents and media for your experiment. ## Key features - Specific Productivity Calculator - Transfection Calculator - Molarity Calculator - Dilution Calculator - Molecular Weight Calculator - Unit Converter (44+ units) - Cell Culture Reference Charts ## Recent user reviews (10 of 18) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dailycalcs-science-calculator-to-simplify-everyday-tasks-in-the-lab/id353223512/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Cannot get new version to work.... *2016-03-09, version 5.0* In dilution mode, can put in the stock altho clunky, desired conc and volume but then there is no way to actually get the results. Do not upgrade!!! Previous version was great 😥 ### 3/5 — Dilution functionality *2016-02-04* The app itself seems to be very helpful. The only problem is that the most useful function isn't working, the dilution function. ### 1/5 — Dilution doesn't work *2014-10-22* 8/13:Dilutions do not work properly; you have to email the results to get your answer. Update 10/14: umm, still no update for bug fixes.... ### 1/5 — Include option to calculate final volume from given mass under molarity *2014-07-18* Include option to calculate final volume from given mass under molarity ### 1/5 — Dilution. *2014-07-09* That fiction of the application doesn't work. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-01-19* The old version was my favorite app but since the remodel nothing works. I've waited a year for them to fix it but now I'm moving on. ### 2/5 — Just okay! *2013-08-03* Thanks fir the app but Crashes very often and Dilution option doesn't work. Please improve it ### 3/5 — Works well, needs improvement *2013-05-14* Currently with dilution output is always in mL would be useful to output in uL or other unit. Email functionality is nice but It broke the function where hitting calculate shows the information on that screen.. Now I have to export the info to mail to view. ### 5/5 — Good reference *2013-02-16* Many of the early problems have been fixed, so this is a helpful app to have. ### 1/5 — Price is right. Has major calc error *2011-05-13* I'll use the formula weight and molarity soln calculator a lot. But it's a pain to have to hit the cap key all the time when entering formulas. And the other review was right about the mmol concertos being wrong (10x too high). ## Frequently asked questions about DailyCalcs ### What types of calculations does DailyCalcs offer?
