Minnie Mouse,

try typing in the url directly onto the address bar but here I've tried again.

goodmorning all

how are u all today?
i have a serious problem in calculation.... that i am toooooo bad in it, i need an advice.
i checked some of my old lectures abouts solutions and its preparation.
what shall i do?


Hi Spanishflower,

The sites for doing calculations are good but I wouldn't use them myself. I will agree with others who said that take paper-pencil and spend some time practicing it. Believe me calculations for molar, mole, normal solutions are very simple once you practice doing it yourself. Calculations for ED50, IC50, % inhibition, % induction too are simple using microsoft excell.

Hope it helps.

Paraboxa,
I cannot find 'past papers' or the link to the calculations from Deacon from this link. Can you give a direct link to them? Like others, I am practicing as much as I can on dilutions & biochemical calculations.

it will be 2000 times of the number that you derived from the curve.


Just seeking a clarification on the MTT assay for calculating the IC50. having obtained the sigmoid shaped log curve using cell viability (%) and drug concentration on the y and x axes, respectively, I extrapolate from 50% cell viability across and down to get the concentration (IC50). this value that I get, do I need to do any further calculations with it? Or is it the final answer for the IC50? it is a log scale on the X-axis so I am wondering if i need to change back the answer from log form?????????

Thanks

IC50s are given as concentrations, so yes, you need to go from log form to normal notation. I assume that you're plugging a y-value into an equation and getting x, the IC50, out, correct?
