About Calculator.bio

Providing reliable, private, and accessible tools for the scientific community.

Our Mission

Our project was founded on a clear objective: to offer free and open access to reliable, privacy-respecting calculators for common laboratory and biological computations. In a digital landscape where scientific tools can be complex or require data submission, we are committed to providing clarity, precision, and complete transparency about our methods and sources.

We aim to transform established scientific formulas and data into simple, intuitive tools, providing objective, numeric outputs that support education, research, and experimental design.

Our Core Principles

Our work is guided by a set of non-negotiable principles:

Scientific Rigor

We exclusively use standard, peer-reviewed formulas and constants from reputable scientific bodies and literature (e.g., IUPAC, NCBI). Each tool includes a "Methodology & Sources" section for full transparency.

Absolute Privacy

Your privacy is paramount. All calculations are performed locally in your browser (client-side). No data you enter—sequences, numbers, or otherwise—is ever transmitted to, shared with, or stored on our servers.

Universal Access

Our tools are 100% free and anonymous. They are designed to work efficiently on any device, from mobile phones to desktop computers, in compliance with modern web and accessibility standards.

Educational Focus

We emphasize that our tools are for educational and research planning purposes only. Clear disclaimers on every page remind users that these calculators are not a substitute for professional judgment, experimental validation, or clinical use.

Commitment to Quality

As a resource for the scientific community, we take our responsibility seriously. Our development process follows strict rules to ensure the quality of our tools:

  • Source Validation: Every formula and constant is cross-referenced with primary scientific literature or official recommendations from standards organizations.
  • Rigorous Implementation: The code for each calculator is developed and tested to faithfully reflect the underlying mathematical and scientific principles.
  • Continuous Review: We actively monitor our tools to ensure they remain aligned with current scientific consensus and best practices.
  • Responsible Communication: We clearly state the scope and limitations of each calculator, ensuring users understand that they are models and not a replacement for empirical measurement and professional oversight.
