Dilution Factor Calculator

Find the dilution factor from initial and final volume.

Calculated Output

Dilution factor 10

Formula: DF = final volume ÷ initial volume

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Initial (stock) volume = 1 mL

3. Final volume = 10 mL

5. Dilution factor = Initial (stock) volume x Final volume = 1 x 10 = 10

The math behind it

DF = final volume ÷ stock volume. A DF of 10 means a 1:10 dilution.

1 mL into 10 mL → DF 10.

Concentration?

Final concentration = stock ÷ DF.
