Serial Dilution Calculator
Serial Dilution Calculator: calculate cₙ with consistent units and explicit assumptions.
Inputs
mg/L
mL
mL
steps
Results
- Final concentration
- 1 mg/L
- Overall dilution factor
- 1,000 ×
| Step | Concentration (mg/L) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 100 |
| 2 | 10 |
| 3 | 1 |
Formula
Cₙ = C₀ × (aliquot/final volume)ⁿ
Assumptions & limits
- Equal dilution ratio at each step; make to final volume with calibrated glassware.
Worked example
For the example inputs: Final concentration = 1 mg/L; Overall dilution factor = 1000 ×.
Cₙ = C₀ × (aliquot/final volume)ⁿ
