Simple calculator to help you determine how much sample and diluent is needed to get a final solution with a known dilution factor.
Notes:
- Make sure you are using the same unit for the sample and diluent. (e.g. milliliter, microliter)
- Mix the right amount of sample and diluent needed. Mix properly to ensure accuracy. Use a vortex if available.
Principle:
To make a dilute solution without calculating concentrations, you can rely on a derivation of the above formula: (Final Volume / Solute Volume) = Dilution Factor
