The Pitching Rate Calculator is used to determine the cell concentration per unit volume, which is crucial in various biological and fermentation processes.
Formula
The formula for calculating the pitching rate is:
\[ \text{Pitching Rate (PITR)} = \frac{\text{Total Number of Cells (C)}}{\text{Volume (V) in mL}} \]
Example Calculation
If you have 500 million cells and a volume of 50 mL:
\[ \text{PITR} = \frac{500,000,000}{50} = 10,000,000 \text{ cells/mL} \]
Usage
Pitching rate is essential in yeast and cell culture applications, where precise concentrations are needed for optimal growth and fermentation.
