Aprovecho para comentarte que "lleve a volumen" es, en realidad, un calco del inglés (traducción literal de 'bring to volume'). En castellano tenemos un verbo específico para designar esta acción: enrasar.

Copio del diccionario de la Real Academia Española:

enrasar.
1. tr. Llenar un recipiente hasta un determinado nivel o marca.

Otras dos expresiones equivalentes: 'dilute to volume', como dijo Helen, y 'fill to the mark' (sólo cuando se trabaja con matraces aforados [volumetric flasks]).

\"lleve a volumen\"
"dilute to volume" "make up to volume" "bring to volume"


Explanation:
FWIW, the European Pharmacopoeia uses "dilute to xx ml" or "dilute to volume". A google search shows that "make up to volume" is also used commonly and that "bring to volume" is used, but not as often as these other two.
