Learn F0 calculation (advance)

F₀ Calculator

Paste Temperature Data (One per line, up to 30):

Prepare Your Data in Excel
- Make sure your temperature readings are in a single column (one reading per row).
- You can copy up to 30 temperature values at a time.
Copy the Temperature Values
- Highlight the cells in Excel (no headers, just numbers).
- Press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Cmd+C (Mac) to copy.
Paste Into the Calculator
- Click inside the “Paste Temperature Data” box.
- Paste your values (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V).
- Each number should appear on a new line.
Click “Calculate F₀”
- The tool will automatically:
  - Fill in the Time (minutes) column.
  - Calculate Lethality per minute (L/min) for each temperature.
  - Calculate Accumulated F₀ (the running total of lethality over time).
Review the Results Table
- The table will display:
  - # – Data point index (1–30).
  - Time (min) – Auto-filled, starting at 0 minutes.
  - Temperature (°C) – Your pasted values.
  - Lethality/min – Decimal value representing kill rate.
  - Accumulated F₀ – Running total, final value shows total sterilization.
Repeat as Needed
- Clear the box, paste a new data set, and calculate again.
