Fit surface to data set

So, I've got this data set with 3 vars (attached), time, temperature and percentage conversion. It's from a FAMEs chemical reaction, and i've been using fruitessly cftool, to get a surface function that fits to data. Any suggestions on how to do this?
The aim is to predict percentage conversion by setting temp and time based on experimental data :D
Thanks!

I don’t have the Curve Fitting Toolbox, but using the Statistics Toolbox function nlinfit or Optimization Toolbox function lsqcurvefit, it would be relatively easy. Assuming time and temperature are your independent variables, and percentageconversion your dependent variable, combine the first two in one matrix and then regress it against the third using your function.
Example:
TimeTemp = [time temperature]; % Assumes time and temperature are COLUMN vectors
FAMEfcn = (b,X) b(1).*X(:1) + b(2) .* X(:,2); % FAME = K1*time + K2*temperature
B = nlinfit(TimeTemp, percentageconversion, FAMEfcn, [1 1])
Obviously you would provide the function to fit. I created the very simple example FAMEfcn to illustrate how to refer to the TimeTemp variables within it. The percentageconversion vector is also assumed to be a column vector here.

Nonlinear models are difficult. They are often difficult to choose in 1-d. It gets nastier in 2-d.
For this reason, people often choose polynomial models. And, well, they have their dramatic downsides too. But you can always use my polyfitn, found on the file exchange.
Given a complete lack of an intelligent choice for a model, gridfit is a decent option. It is also found on the file exchange.

I got the impression you were estimating the model parameters. It is statistically permissible to extrapolate the fit of a kinetic model if you understand the model and the validity of the numbers you are calculating from it.
If you need help fitting the model with nlinfit or lsqcurvefit, post it and some data here (at least as many data sets as you have parameters in your model). I’ll do my best to help.
I only use polynomial fits when I want to get some idea of what noisy data ‘look like’, or if I want to interpolate intermediate estimates. I never use them to extrapolate, because it is impossible to know what the data are in the region you have not measured. No matter what the polynomial does, you have no idea that what you extrapolate reflects the actual behaviour of the system you are measuring. The polynomial could be dead-on or wildly off-course.
