This study introduces a GW-BASIC computer program for analyzing dilution endpoint assay results using Karber's approximation. The program offers unique standard error estimates for this data type.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Computational Biology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Dilution endpoint assays are crucial for determining the concentration of biologically active substances.
  • Analyzing these assays traditionally involves complex statistical methods.
  • Accurate estimation of endpoint titers and associated variability is essential for reliable results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a user-friendly computer program for analyzing dilution endpoint assay data.
  • To implement Karber's approximation for calculating endpoint titers.
  • To provide standard error estimates not readily available through other methods.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a computer program in GW-BASIC.
  • Application of Karber's approximation for endpoint titer calculation.
