Which one do you need?

DNA / RNA Concentration from A260 Calculator
Convert an A260 absorbance reading into ng/µL, total yield in µg and molar concentration for dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA or oligos, with dilution and pathlength handled.
Primer Melting Temperature (Tm) Calculator
Paste a primer sequence to get its melting temperature by nearest-neighbour thermodynamics, the Wallace rule, GC and salt-adjusted formulas, plus annealing temperature.
PCR Master Mix Calculator
Build a PCR or qPCR master mix: per-reaction and total volumes for buffer, dNTPs, primers, MgCl2, polymerase and water, with pipetting excess included.
Delta Delta Ct Fold Change Calculator
Turn four qPCR Ct values into a fold change by the Livak 2^-ΔΔCt method, with an efficiency-corrected Pfaffl option, log2 fold change and an error sensitivity table.
