Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
These calculators give order-of-magnitude estimates based on published correlations. For project-level decisions, use the full untangle.bio app where mass balance, multi-step processes, and component-specific properties are simulated.
Is the data behind this calculator open?
Yes — the underlying correlations and property database are visible on the individual molecule and separation pages.
