• Input Log-Phase OD600 Values

You will see fields to enter log-phase OD600 values at two distinct time points. For the first time point, enter the OD600 value and the corresponding time in the format hhmm. For the second time point, enter the OD600 value and the corresponding time in the same format.

• Enter Desired Growth Level

In the field labeled "OD600", input the OD600 value you aim to achieve for your bacterial culture.

• Calculate and Start Timer

After adding log-phase OD600 values for two samplingpoints and entering the desired OD600 growth level, tap the "Countdown to" button.
The app will simultaneously calculate the time required to reach the desired growth level and start the timer.

• Review Growth Schedule

The app will display the calculated results, including the time (WT [min]) required to achieve the desired OD600 and growth rate (GR [1/min]).
You will see the 2nd sampling point, growth rates, waiting time, and estimated time to reach the target OD600.

• Receive Notification

Once the timer is set, you can continue with other tasks. The app will run in the background.
When the calculated time is up, the app will send you a notification alerting you that your culture has reached the desired OD600 level.

• Refresh for New Calculations

To start a new calculation, tap the "Clear Alarm" button. This will reset the input fields, allowing you to enter new OD600 values and desired growth levels for another calculation.
