Ten Fold Dilution Calculator

How to Use the Ten Fold Dilution Calculator

1. Enter the initial concentration of your solution in the "Initial Concentration (C₀) (units/mL)" field. Make sure to use the correct units (e.g., mg/mL, M).
2. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the final concentration after a ten-fold dilution.
3. The final concentration (C₁) will be displayed in the "Final Concentration (C₁) (units/mL)" field.
4. If you need to start over, click the "Reset" button to clear all input fields.

Understanding Ten Fold Dilution

A ten-fold dilution means that you are reducing the concentration of your solution by a factor of 10. This is achieved by adding a certain volume of the original solution to a larger volume of diluent (e.g., water or buffer).

Example

Suppose you have a solution with an initial concentration of 100 mg/mL. After performing a ten-fold dilution, the final concentration will be:

C₁ = 100 mg/mL / 10 = 10 mg/mL

Applications

This calculator is useful in various fields such as chemistry, biology, and medicine where dilutions are commonly performed to achieve the desired concentration for experiments or treatments.
