This repository is to store different scripts that can be implemented for automating different experimental setups

Chem_Calc.py

If you're as profficient as me when calculating stock solutions, you might find this stock solution calculator of use.

📋 Required Data: Chemicals of interest and their molecular weight[g/mol]

📊 Example Data: To get a glimpse of this code, download the Molwght.csv file

Here I'll give an overview of the code:

Step 1. Define Chemicals and of interest in a csv file

Chemical	Molecular Weight
BA	225.3
IBA	203.2

Tip

I recomend having a csv file where you periodically update any chemicals you may use and that way the script will always be up to date

Step 2. Run application

pip install streamlit #install streamlit if first time

To run the script, open the terminal or terminal emulator and run :

streamlit run Chem_Calc.py 

Step 3. Application Input

The application should load momentarily

The required input is :

• Path to CSV file: can be a whole path or the file name if script is in the same directory
• Amount of chemicals to include in your solution: numeric value
• Chemical: Toggle down menu based on the dictionary keys that are created from the chemicals column in the csv file
• Unit of Volume [microLiter, MilliLiter, or Liter]: case insensative but most have correct spelling
• Unut of Molarity [microMolar, MilliMolar, or Molar]: case insensative but most have correct spelling
• Desired final concentration for the chemical in the solution : numeric value corresponding to unit of molarity

Step 4. Media Recipe

After entering the required input, the amount of grams, miligrams or micrigrams (denoted based of quanitity required) will be printed in the terminal along with a summary table of the chemicals.

Chemical	Amount	Unit
BA	225.3	micrograms
IBA	3.2	grams
