A fast, focused calculator for the wet-lab bench. Built for single-cell and molecular biology workflows — BD Rhapsody sample pooling, dilutions, dsDNA molarity, and a full scientific calculator, all in one offline app. TOOLS Pool — Plan BD Rhapsody sample pooling with QC removal. Enter sample count, final pool volume, QC removal volume, and target nuclei after QC. Supports tagged samples (T1 to T6), per-sample final volumes that auto-fill to pool ÷ N (editable if uneven), and switches between stock and diluted input modes with a dilution factor. Dilute — Classic C1V1 = C2V2 dilution calculator. Pick any combination of concentration units (M, mM, µM, nM, ng/µL, µg/mL) and volume units (L, mL, µL). Instant results. dsDNA — Convert between pg/µL and nM using average fragment size. Handles both stock and pre-diluted input via a dilution factor. Uses the standard 660 g/mol per bp conversion. Calc — A clean scientific calculator with trig functions (sin, cos, tan), logarithms (log10, ln), exponents, square roots, parentheses, π, and e. WHY No accounts. No ads. No data collection.
