Dilution helper

Given a stock concentration, target concentration, and final volume, calculates the volume of stock drug and diluent you need. Works for any drug.

Dilution helper — standalone

Work out how many mL of stock drug and diluent to combine for any target concentration. Stock is pre-filled for standalone; change it if you're using a different vial.

Draw up

4.00 mL stock drug

+ 46.00 mL diluent

Combine to a final volume of 50.0 mL. Gives a concentration of 1000.0 µg/mL.

Formula
$$C_1 V_1 = C_2 V_2$$

Stock concentration × stock volume = final concentration × final volume

$$V_1 = \frac{C_2 \times V_2}{C_1} = \frac{ 1000.0 \times 50.0 }{ 12500.0 } = 4.00\,\text{mL}$$
