Abstract: The invention provides for methods and systems involving the measurement of values of one or several characterizing parameters representative of the kinetics of an assay chemical reaction, including providing a calibration tool (26) comprising a reaction chamber (28); for a given set of defining features, performing a series of calibration experiments under different sets of calibration values of at least one operating parameter, providing a digital calibration model representative of the kinetics of the assay chemical reaction in the calibration tool, where the assay digital calibration model comprises one or several characterizing parameters, the values of which have a dependency on the given set of defining features used for the calibration experiments; fitting, by computation, the values of the characterizing parameters for the given set of defining features, based on the series of calibration experiment results, wherein the reaction chamber (28) is a stirred-tank reactor.
