MOI Calculator
Compute the multiplicity of infection as virus particles per target cell.
Description
Compute the multiplicity of infection as virus particles per target cell.
MOI Calculator is a focused biology tool that compute the multiplicity of infection as virus particles per target cell. It calculates locally from the values you enter and exposes the result without changing the source observations.1
When to use MOI Calculator
Use MOI Calculator when you need to compute the multiplicity of infection as virus particles per target cell. Enter Cell count and Virus particles using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.
- Cell count
- An integer count or setting greater than or equal to 1.
- Virus particles
- An integer count or setting greater than or equal to 0.
How MOI Calculator calculates the result
The published tool contract uses this rule: Compute the multiplicity of infection as virus particles per target cell.1
- Multiplicity of infection
- The calculated multiplicity of infection.
Limitations of MOI Calculator
The calculation does not propagate measurement uncertainty, sampling error, or biological and chemical variability.
Alternative or Complementary measurements
Retain the original Cell count and Virus particles values and their units alongside the result. Apoptosis % is useful when you instead need to calculate the apoptosis percentage from apoptotic and total cell counts. BrdU Incorporation Rate provides another view by helping you compute the percentage of BrdU positive cells relative to the total counted cell population.
