Beta release of new tool: Growth-Rate Calculator

:wave: We’ve been making some significant improvements to our internal growth rate calculator, and wanted a way for you to “backfill” your previous experiments. We’ve built a new public tool, the Growth-Rate Calculator app, that allows you to upload Optical Density exports from your Pioreactors and compute the growth rate and nOD.

  • Optionally provide the Dosing Events Log export to have the app handle dilutions.
  • Can be used with non-Pioreactor data too! See schema needed here (but your Pioreactor exports the correct schema).
  • Change parameters in the Kalman Filter and see their effect on your curve.
  • Make changes to your OD dataset, and re-compute the growth rate.

Note: This app is using our new Python library grpredict. This is a preview of the upcoming Pioreactor software release, which will include grpredict.
