Lab Utilities

The Utilities area collects four everyday bench calculators. They are deterministic and fully client-side (no AI, no AI-call cost, and no server round-trip), so they are fast and available on every plan.

Sample Size Calculator

Estimate the number of replicates you need to detect an effect for common designs, given your effect size, variability, significance level, and desired power. Use it to justify n in your experimental design before you commit reagents.

Unit Converter

Convert across the units you use at the bench (volume, mass, concentration in molar and mass/volume, temperature, and time) with the same conversion engine that powers the in-run step tools.

Citations

Format references into common citation styles for your methods and manuscripts, generated locally from the reference details you provide.

Recipe Builder

Build buffers and media from target concentrations and a final volume; the builder back-calculates the amount of each component to weigh out or pipette, so you can scale a recipe up or down without arithmetic errors.
