This is a useful article that I enjoyed reading. Do you have a version of poolingCalculator.xls that you can post? This spreadsheet is referenced in Protocol S2, but I could not immediately find it here or at http://www.hmpdacc.org/.

Unfortunately, I am unable to provide the document poolingCalcluator.xls. However, in section 3.5.1 of Protocol S2 you may find the formula implemented by the calculator. I've copied the relevant text below. I hope this is helpful. Best wishes.

Using values from the SYBR Green or Quant-IT quantification, calculate pooling
amounts using the poolingCalculator.xls or according to the following formula:
Amount (uL) of each sample = ((vol/2)*(min)) / sampleconc
where:
Vol = total volume of each sample
Min = concentration in ng/ul of the sample with the lowest concentration
Sampleconc = concentration in ng/uL of target sample
