BenchMath: molecular biology calculators with bench-side caveats

benchmath.org Visit website
Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, no-sign-up suite of calculators for molecular biology lab tasks, including solution preparation, dilution, buffer pH, and scaled recipes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-31 issue.
For
Molecular biology lab workers making solutions and assay mixes
Worth noticing
The dilution tool flags sub-1 µL transfers as hard to pipette and recommends making an intermediate dilution.

Field notes

The molarity form asks for molecular weight, desired concentration, and final volume, then explains the conversion from moles to grams. Buffer setup offers named pKa presets or a custom value, and the accompanying guidance notes that Tris changes with temperature. These details make the calculations easier to interpret at the bench, while the page still advises checking the resulting buffer with a pH meter.
