Stock Solution Planner

Plan a working dilution from a stock solution. Calculates stock volume, diluent volume, and bench-ready instructions with pipette-accuracy warnings.

Bench setup

Enter your stock concentration, the target (working) concentration, and how much working solution you need. The calculator uses C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ and tells you exactly how much stock to pipette and how much diluent to add.

Assumptions

  • Stock is fully dissolved and accurately labeled.
  • Diluent volume = final volume − stock volume (volumes are additive).
  • Verify pipette accuracy for any volume below 1 µL.

V₁ = (C₂ × V₂) / C₁

Formula reference

Stock volume: V₁ = (C₂ × V₂) / C₁
Diluent: V_diluent = V₂ − V₁
