DNA/RNA working-solution prep: C1V1 = C2V2 mode solves the stock volume V1 = C2V2/C1 plus diluent; 1:X mode gives final concentration C1/X and volumes. Unit-free algebra, pipetting safety advice (<0.5 µL suggests serial dilution), and impossible targets rejected. Sambrook & Russell / Thermo Fisher derived. Educational use only.

POST https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/nucleic-acid-dilution| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | select | Yes | Solve for the stock volume from a target concentration, or dilute by a fixed 1:X factor. |
| stockConc | number | Yes | Quantified concentration of the stock (any unit — keep it identical to the target unit). |
| targetConc | number | Yes | Desired working concentration (C1V1 = C2V2 mode; must not exceed the stock). |
| dilutionFactor | number | Yes | Total-to-stock ratio of a 1:X dilution (dilution-factor mode; must be greater than 1). |
| finalVolumeUl |
