}FAQ
Percent Solution Calculator questions
What does % w/v mean?↑
% w/v means grams of solute per 100 mL final solution.
What does % v/v mean?↑
% v/v means milliliters of liquid component per 100 mL final solution.
Can I use this for agarose?↑
Yes for simple w/v calculations, but the agarose gel calculator gives gel-specific wording.
Should I bring to final volume?↑
Yes. Prepare the component and bring the solution to final volume according to protocol.
