The Bellingham Research Institute (BRI) develops and distributes software that is free of charge to academic and other non-profit organizations.
GrowthRates is our software tool that simplifies the analysis of microplate reader output from microbial growth experiments without having to program in Python, R, or MATLAB.
It automates the calculation of growth rate parameters, including rates, lag times, maximum population density. Manual calculation of those parameters requires at least 5 minutes per well, or 32 hours for a 384 well plate. GrowthRates completely analyzes growth parameters in all 384 wells in under 5 minutes.
CGR2 (Compare Growth Rates) is a statistical program specifically designed to assess the results of a growth rate experiment that has been analyzed using the program GrowthRates. The purpose of a statistical analysis is to establish our level of trust in both the data and in the conclusions we draw from that data.
Both the GrowthRate and CGR2 packages are
