What is a solution dilution calculator?

The solution dilution calculator tool calculates the volume of stock concentrate to add to achieve a specified volume and concentration.

What is a 10 fold dilution?

As another example, if 100 mL of a stock solution is diluted with solvent/diluent to a total, final volume of 1000 mL, the resulting dilution factor is 10. It can also be said that the stock solution was diluted 10- fold. Therefore, a 10-fold dilution is the same as a dilution factor of 10.

How much water is added to a dilution?

Plugging all the numbers into the dilution calculator we can instantly get: 1.25 L is the final volume of solution. So, as much as 1.25 L – 250 mL = 1 L of water is to be added to the initial solution to achieve the desired concentration.

What is dilution factor X?

Therefore, dilution by any factor X is equivalent to X-fold dilution. Please note that the dilution factor calculator below uses the metric unit for volume (fL, pL, nL, μL, mL, and L). If you wish to convert these units to other volume units, please use our Unit Conversion Calculator.
