Solution Dilution Calculator

Solution Dilution Calculator

The Solution Dilution Calculator helps chemists, biologists, and laboratory technicians calculate the volumes needed to prepare a diluted solution from a concentrated stock solution. It is based on the fundamental dilution equation:

$$C_1 V_1 = C_2 V_2$$

where C1 and V1 are the concentration and volume of the stock solution, and C2 and V2 are the desired concentration and volume of the diluted solution. Simply enter any three values to calculate the fourth.
