1

Transcribe the label mass

Enter the complete mass printed on the label and preserve the milligram unit in the worksheet.

2

Record final volume

Enter the final prepared volume in millilitres. Concentration is calculated from mass divided by that volume.

3

Enter the protocol-defined mass

Use the mass already specified by the approved research protocol; the unit toggle converts between micrograms and milligrams.
