Frequently asked questions
Does this calculation run on a server?
No. The calculation runs locally in your browser with JavaScript.
Can I use the result directly in laboratory work?
Use it as a calculation aid and verify reagent form, purity, constants, assumptions and your laboratory SOP before operational use.
