MOI Calculator — lentivirus
Calculate the infectious units (PFU/TU) of lentivirus to add for a target multiplicity of infection (MOI). Units = MOI × cell number.
- 1Infectious units = MOI × cells
1 × 1.00e+6 = 1.000e+6 PFU

About MOI Calculator — lentivirus
Calculate the infectious units (PFU/TU) of lentivirus to add for a target multiplicity of infection (MOI). Units = MOI × cell number. The calculation uses units = MOI × cells. Why it matters: Seeding density, viability and MOI drive reproducibility in everything from drug screens to viral transductions. A counting error cascades into wrong doses and uninterpretable results. MOI sets the average lentivirus particles per cell. Before you trust the number, double-check: counting cells on the wrong hemocytometer squares; forgetting the trypan-blue dilution factor; reading plates outside the 30–300 colony range. Everything is computed on your own device — nothing you enter is uploaded — so the tool is safe for unpublished sequences, proprietary formulations and sensitive measurements, and easy to cite in a methods section or lab SOP.

Frequently asked questions
Any tips specific to this calculation?+
MOI sets the average lentivirus particles per cell. Also watch out for: counting cells on the wrong hemocytometer squares and applying MOI without titering the virus.
Is this moi calculator — lentivirus free to use?+
Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser — there are no usage limits.
What formula does it use?+
It uses units = MOI × cells The full worked example is shown beneath the result so you can verify each step.
What are the most common mistakes here?+
In cell culture and counting, watch for: counting cells on the wrong hemocytometer squares; forgetting the trypan-blue dilution factor; reading plates outside the 30–300 colony range; applying MOI without titering the virus. This tool shows the working so you can catch these before they cost an experiment.
Does my data leave my device?+
No. All computation happens locally in your browser. Nothing you enter — sequences, concentrations or measurements — is uploaded to any server, so it is safe for confidential work.
Can I cite this tool?+
Yes — use the “Cite this tool” snippet on the page. Many users link these calculators from methods sections, lab SOPs and teaching materials.
