About the Dilution Calculator
Solve CโVโ = CโVโ for any missing value, or work through a full serial dilution series.
What it is
The Dilution Calculator solves the standard dilution equation CโVโ = CโVโ for whichever value is unknown โ stock concentration, stock volume, final concentration, or final volume โ with automatic conversion between common concentration and volume units. A serial dilution mode produces a full step-by-step table for a dilution series defined by a starting concentration, dilution factor, and number of steps. Dilutions are performed in a lab when a stock solution is too concentrated to use directly, and need to be brought down to a working concentration accurately.
Features
Solve for any variable
Cโ, Vโ, Cโ, or Vโ โ enter the other three and get the missing one.
Unit conversion
Mix concentration and volume units freely; they're converted automatically.
Serial dilution table
Full step-by-step concentration table for a dilution series.
Diluent volume
Explicitly shows how much diluent to add to reach the target.
