Mixology: A tool for calculating required masses and volumes for laboratory solutions

Abstract

Laboratory work often requires making up solutions with defined concentrations of various components. Mixology is a tool we have created to simplify calculation of the masses and volumes required to obtain particular concentrations. It operates with many kinds of volumetric, mass and concentration units, including conversion between molarity- and mass-based concentrations using molecular masses retrieved from the Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) database.
