Abstract
Only selected examples of calculations that are important in the laboratory are listed. Correct concentrations and quantities of reagents are decisive for accurate results. The chapter explains relationships between mass, molar mass, volume, and the amount of substance.
In this chapter, the most necessary formulas for preparing solutions needed in a molecular biology laboratory are presented. It is important to remember the differences between the different units in order to avoid pipetting errors and wasting reagents.
