The Solution Dilution Calculator calculates the volume of stock concentrate needed to achieve a specified volume and concentration. It uses the formula: C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ where: C₁ = Initial concentration (stock solution) V₁ = Volume to be removed (aliquot) from the stock solution C₂ = Final concentration of the diluted solution V₂ = Final volume of the diluted solution (after dilution with the solvent) Designed for both teaching and research laboratories, this calculator can be used for dilution calculations with solutions expressed in mass per volume (e.g., g/L, mg/mL) or weight per volume (e.g., % w/v) concentration units. Example Dilution Calculation: Question: What volume of a 10 mM stock solution is required to prepare 20 mL of a 50 μM solution? Solution: Using the equation C₁V₁ = C₂V₂, where: C₁ = 10 mM C₂ = 50 μM V₂ = 20 mL V₁ = Unknown Steps: Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select millimolar (mM). Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select micromolar (μM). Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select milliliters (mL). The result, 100 microliters (0.1 mL), will appear automatically. Thank you for your support! Stay tuned for more updates.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Lab Mate at every 5 months against Solution Dilution Calculator's every 22 months. Lab Mate also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). Solution Dilution Calculator's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $6.99) and iOS requirement (13 vs 26.0). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Solution Dilution Calculator costs $2.99 and Lab Mate $6.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Solution Dilution Calculator against 5.0 for Lab Mate. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lab Mate has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.
Solution Dilution Calculator ships an update every 22 months, Lab Mate every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
