ED50 Calculator
ED50 (or "median effective dose") represents the dose at which a substance produces a therapeutic or desired effect in half of the members of a tested population. The therapeutic effect is a binary measurement, meaning either the desired effect occurs or it does not. In pharmacology, the ED50 value is important because it serves as a rough guideline for the efficacy of a drug. It differs from the EC50 of a substance, though the two sound similar. Namely, the EC50 represents the dose at which a substance produces half of its maximal effect whereas the ED50 represents the dose at which a substance produces an effect in half of the population.

How to use this tool
1. Paste experimental data into the box on the right. Data can be copied directly from Excel columns. Data can also be comma-separated, tab-separated or space-separated values. If entering data manually, only enter one X-Value per line.
Replicates can be graphed simultaneously. Graph will generate error bars based on the standard error of the mean (SEM). Simply paste or enter all data columns to begin. Format should be as follows:
Users can graph up to three data sets on the same graph for comparison purposes. To add a new data set , press the "+" tab above the data entry area.Data sets can be renamed by double clicking the tab. Each dataset will generate a corresponding ED50 value as well as the equation for the best fit line.
2. Verify your data is accurate in the table that appears.
3. Press the "Calculate ED50" button to display results, including calculations and graph.
