Product Information

Scientific Notation Calculator to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers in scientific notation or E notation. As an example, if you want to find what percentage 15 is of 300, you would divide 15 by 300, resulting in 0.05. Multiplying 0.05 by 100 gives you 5%. A number is written in standard form when it is represented as a decimal number times a power of 10. If you’re working with spore-forming bacteria, this may be the stage where vegetative cells sporulate or form new spores.

For each OD you then want to know the cell density in cells/mL. So for each OD, make dilutions of 1 in 1×10 Use our percentage calculator to work out increases, decreases or percentage differences. Common uses include calculating tax, statistics, savings increases,

A percentage is a number that expresses a portion or proportion of a whole in relation to 100. As an example, if 80% of a class passed an exam, it means that

Proper fraction button is used to change a number of the form of 9/5 to the form of 1 4/5. A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is less than the denominator (bottom number).Proper fraction button and Improper fraction button work as pair. When you choose the one the other is switched off.

Constructing a standard curve for OD 600 is a bit tedious, but it is a good exercise to go through every 6 months or so (and for each spec you use). Calibrating Your OD 600 Measurements The OD value represents the amount of light that is scattered by your sample. But that value is affected by the intensity of the light beam in the spec, and the spec design. This means that similar samples will give completely different OD values in different specs (owing to the specs having different bulbs), or even in the same spec over time, as the beam intensity reduces with the age of the bulb. Percentages are represented by the symbol "%" and provide a standardized method to compare quantities or indicate changes. You'll find them used in

Growth during this phase is exponential and metabolic activity is uniform across cells; bacteria in this phase are also most susceptible to antibiotics, for example, making it the ideal phase for research work. Figure 1. Phases of a bacterial growth curve. Using OD 600Measurements to Determine Your Bacterial Culture Growth Stage During this phase, there is no overall increase in the cell population—cells that die are replaced by newly dividing ones, but the overall number of live cells stays the same. The 600-nm wavelength is specifically chosen for bacterial OD measurements because unlike UV wavelengths, 600 nm is not harmful to the culture. This wavelength is also not usually absorbed by yellow-ish media like TSB (tryptic soy broth) and LB (lysogeny broth).

Note that we do not remove the trailing 0 because it was originally to the right of the decimal and is therefore a As an example, consider the speed of light which travels at about 671,000,000 miles per hour. Written in standard form this number is equivalent to 6.71 x 10 8. b is the power of 10 required so that the standard form is mathematically equivalent to the original number. Standard form is like scientific notation where a number is represented as a decimal number times a power of 10. Standard form format is: Start by making a suspension culture of the cells you are interested in, then diluting it to obtain a series of samples with ODs of =2, 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2, and 0.1 on your spec. (NB: don’t make serial dilutions as these are very inaccurate.)

So, recording an OD value in your lab book doesn’t really mean anything as this number is as much dependent on your spec as on the density of your culture. Calculating the Cell Density from OD 600
