Method and calculation
Conservation of solute gives stock volume C2 × V2 / of concentration C1.
Inputs and settings
Dilution Calculator accepts Stock concentration (minimum 0.000001); Target concentration (minimum 0.000001); Final volume (mL) (minimum 0.000001).
Worked example
Dilution Calculator example — Stock concentration: 10; Target concentration: 2; Final volume (mL): 100. Computed output: { "stockMl": 20, "diluentMl": 80 }
Output and limitations
Dilution Calculator: Use finite inputs. Results use double-precision arithmetic.

Dilution Calculator FAQs
Dilution Calculator applies the following rule to your input: Conservation of solute gives stock volume C2 × V2 / of concentration C1. The worked example on this page uses the same processor as the result button.
Dilution Calculator has these boundaries: Use finite inputs. Results use double-precision arithmetic. Start by checking the stock concentration field against the units or format shown.
Dilution Calculator provides this sample: { "stockMl": 20, "diluentMl": 80 }. Use the sample button to reproduce it, then replace the inputs with your own values.
