Practical calculations, with the assumptions in view
Cell Culture Lab Companion helps researchers and students plan media preparation, cell seeding, passaging, vessel conversions and cryovial allocation. It brings 29 source-linked cell-line references together with a comparison directory, editable calculators and six practical calculation guides.
The aim is to make routine calculations easier to follow: show the units, account for the complete mixture, distinguish viable cells from total cells, and explain what a result can and cannot tell you.
Scientific contributor · Background supplied by the contributor
Dr. Tayner Rodriguez Garzon
PhD in Molecular Genetics · Griffith University, Australia
Dr. Tayner Rodriguez Garzon has 20 years of experience in tissue culture and experience supervising PhD students. His scientific background spans molecular genetics, cancer research, cell-based assays and drug discovery.
His research experience includes cytotoxicity assessment and the study of candidate cancer therapeutics, including compounds that affect cell division, the cytoskeleton and signalling pathways, as well as antibody–drug conjugates and immune-related approaches.
A particular focus is phenomic analysis: comparing patterns of cellular responses to help prioritise candidate compounds, investigate mechanisms of action and design assays that answer a defined biological question.
This profile describes Dr. Rodriguez Garzon’s professional background. It does not mean every page has been independently peer reviewed or experimentally validated. Griffith University is listed as the degree-awarding institution, without implying university endorsement of this website.

Vessel dimensions & medium volumes
Area and growth-medium volumes refer to the listed catalogue formats. Values can differ by manufacturer and product.
384-well & 1536-well plate formats
Format-level references for standard 384-well and clear flat-bottom 1536-well microplates. Exact product specifications may differ; these values do not apply to every plate with the same well count.
