## When to Use
- Preparing a working solution from a concentrated stock and needing exact pipetting and solvent volumes.
- Planning a solid-to-solution preparation (weighing + dissolution) with molecular weight and purity corrections.
- Designing a serial dilution scheme when a single-step dilution factor is impractical or exceeds pipetting limits.
- Converting and preparing percentage-based solutions (w/v, v/v, w/w), including density-based mass-volume conversions.
- Generating an executable lab protocol (steps, equipment list, and warnings) before running an experiment.
## Key Features
- Dilution calculations using **C1V1 = C2V2**, including solvent volume determination.
- Automatic suggestion/structuring of **serial dilution** steps when dilution factors are large.
- Solid preparation calculations using **m = C × V × MW**, with **purity/content correction**.
