WHAT IT DOES

From formula to a bench-ready decision.

Turn a stock concentration and target concentration into the exact stock and diluent volumes to prepare.

Tossora Lab keeps units, intermediate values, and practical preparation checks visible so a mathematically correct answer is easier to translate into an experimental workflow.

BUILT-IN CHECKS

What Tossora Lab checks.

  • Stock concentration must exceed the target concentration.
  • Sub-1 µL transfers are flagged as impractical.
  • Stock-solvent carryover can be checked against a user-defined limit.
BENCH NOTES

Before you use the result.

  • Use an intermediate stock when the calculated transfer is too small for reliable pipetting.
  • Prepare to final volume rather than assuming the diluent volume equals the final volume.
