Serial Dilution Planner

Serial Dilution Planner: Optimize your plate usage by avoiding dilutions that are too concentrated or too dilute.

Based on your estimated starting concentration (CFU/mL) and desired target colony count per plate (e.g., 30-300), the planner recommends the specific serial dilutions (e.g., 10⁻⁵, 10⁻⁶, 10⁻⁷) most likely to yield countable plates.

Automatically generates clear, step-by-step instructions for preparing the dilution series using your chosen dilution factor and diluent volume.

Serial Dilution Planner

Stop wasting plates on dilutions that are too concentrated or too dilute! This planner helps you optimize your plate usage and ensures countable results.

How It Works

Based on your estimated starting concentration (CFU/mL) and your desired target colony count per plate (e.g., 30-300), the planner recommends the specific serial dilutions (e.g., 10⁻⁵, 10⁻⁶, 10⁻⁷) most likely to yield countable plates.

Step-by-Step Instructions

The tool automatically generates clear, step-by-step instructions for preparing the dilution series using your specified dilution factor and diluent volume. Each step includes the volume of stock and diluent to mix for the next dilution.

Applications

Ideal for microbiology experiments requiring serial dilutions, ensuring accurate CFU counts and efficient use of plates, while minimizing waste and improving experimental reproducibility.
