Media recipes and batches
A recipe is your formula; a batch is one pour of it. The batch calculator scales a recipe to the volume or number of containers you're pouring, and each batch knows which jars it went into.
Pro plan- Under Tissue Culture → Media (or Fungi → Media), choose New formulation: the base, the components and how much of each per litre, the target pH and how it's sterilized.
- Open the recipe and type the volume you're pouring, or how many containers. The batch calculator reads off what to weigh, in grams, milligrams or millilitres of stock.
- Make batch records the pour: containers filled, the measured pH, a lot number.
A batch is counted in containers. Each jar poured from it is taken off the count; Write off records spills or ones that went bad, and Recount corrects the shelf. Its page shows where every container went and how many were contaminated.
Tip: On the phone, a recipe's calculator and Make a batch work at the bench.
