What CSV format does this tool accept?▼
This tool accepts standard CSV and TSV files with a header row. It auto-detects delimiters (comma, tab, semicolon, pipe). Your first row should contain column names. The tool will auto-map common bioreactor column names like Time, DO, pH, Temperature, VCD, Viability, Glucose, Lactate, Titer, and Osmolality. You can also manually assign columns after upload. Maximum file size is 50 MB.
Is my data uploaded to your servers?▼
No. All data processing happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your CSV files are never uploaded to any server. No data leaves your device. This tool works completely offline after the page loads. Your proprietary fermentation data remains 100% private and secure.
What bioreactor systems are supported?▼
This tool works with CSV exports from any bioreactor system including Sartorius Biostat, Eppendorf BioFlo, Applikon (Getinge), Infors HT Multitron, Solaris Biotechnology, Pall Allegro, Thermo Fisher HyPerforma, and ambr systems. As long as your data is in CSV or TSV format with time-series columns, it will work.
How are specific rates calculated?▼
Specific growth rate (μ) is calculated from the natural log of VCD over time using linear regression during exponential phase. Specific glucose consumption (qGlc) and specific lactate production (qLac) are calculated as the rate of change of metabolite concentration divided by average VCD over each time interval. Specific productivity (qP) is the rate of titer change divided by VCD, expressed in pg/cell/day. IVC uses trapezoidal integration.
Can I compare multiple runs?▼
Yes. Click the "Add Another Run" button to upload additional CSV files. Up to 5 runs can be overlaid on the same charts with different colors. Each run appears in the legend with an editable name. You can toggle individual runs on and off to compare specific conditions.
How do I export my dashboard?▼
Three export options are available: (1) Export Charts PNG downloads each chart as a high-resolution PNG image. (2) Export Report generates a formatted text summary with key metrics including growth rate, peak VCD, final titer, and specific rates. (3) Export CSV downloads your data with additional columns for derived metrics.
