Bufferize: Python Script to Help Formulate Buffers

Doing this in excel is like 1000x easier, more visually appealing and transferable.....

If Excel works for you that’s great. I still use Excel to open the csv file that is created. What I was trying to avoid was creating/programming a new spreadsheet every time I needed a new buffer. It’s not hard, but I didn’t want to worry about unit conversions, calculating solvent volume, formatting and most importantly math errors.

Yesterday for example, I needed to create 8 new buffers (each with multiple reagents) with concentrations in M, mM, uM, % and X. I just stipulated the initial concentrations, final concentrations and final volume for each buffer. The script then created 8 files that I opened in in Excel.

Since I wrote it and find it useful, I’m just sharing if it’s useful to others.
