                    What are the formulas behind the Concentration Calculator?

                    Reading time: 1min

                    Diluent calculation

                    • [Diluent amount] = [Final Volume] - SUM[Volume of all ingredients]

                    Ingredient amount calculation

                    All liquid ingredients (except the unit %(w/v))

                    • [Ingredient amount] = [Final concentration] * [Final Volume] / [Initial concentration]

                    Liquid ingredients, unit %(w/v)*

                    • [Ingredient amount] = [Final concentration] * [Final Volume] / 100

                    * This formula is used when you want to measure a liquid ingredient by weight, for example in the case of very viscous components like concentrated glycerol or tween20.

                    Solid ingredients, molar concentration.

                    • [Ingredient amount] = [MW] * [Final concentration] * [Final Volume]

                    Solid ingredients, w/v concentration

                    • [Ingredient amount] = [Final concentration] * [Final Volume]

                    Solid ingredients, % (s) concentration

                    • [Ingredient amount] = [Final concentration] * [Final Volume] / 100
