What are D5W and D10W ?
Can someone explain? Reply (by Keith) In this case: the D is an abbreviation for Dextrose, and the W is for water. The number represents the concentration of the Dextrose in the water. So, D5W = 5% Dextrose in Water D7.5W = 7.5% Dextrose in Water D10W = 10% Dextrose in Water and so on... Since this is a W/V Solution, what this means is that in the 5% solution, there are 5 Grams of Dextrose per every 100mL of solution. For a review of concentration / percentage calculations, go to the W/V Concentration Calculations page
