stock solution
Dilutable starting mixture
A stock solution is a concentrated preparation kept on hand and diluted for use.
In chemistry and laboratory work, stock solutions save time—you mix a strong base solution once, then dilute portions as needed: Prepare a 1:10 dilution from the stock solution.
The principle extends to photography, cleaning products, and other fields where consistent concentrated mixtures serve as starting points.
