sample for WBC count was diluted by adding 20 µL of blood to 0.38 mL of diluting solution and then mixed. The Neubauer counting chamber was filled and the cells were counted in the 4 large squares on each side of the chamber. A total of 150 WBCs were counted. A. What is the dilution being used for the calculation? b. What is the total WBC count in the sample in 109 cells/L ?
