Concept explainers
From a 5% normal saline (NaCl) solution, take 2 ml and dilute it 1:5. Take 5 ml of this solution and dilute it 1:10. A 2:100 dilution is made from this last solution.
Determine:
a) How many times less concentrated is the 2nd dilution than the original?
b) What is the dilution factor in each step of the series and what is the final volume of each dilution?
c) How many grams of NaCl will be in 1 ml of the last solution?
A serial dilution is a laboratory technique that uses a series of consecutive dilution steps to gradually reduce the concentration of a substance or microorganisms (e.g., cells, bacteria, viruses) in a solution. This method is commonly used in biological research to obtain samples or solutions with lower concentrations for various purposes, particularly in microbiology and molecular biology.

- The following results were reported for a microscopic examination of urine from a 31-year-old female patient: 2–4 WBCs, 0–2 RBCs, 0–2 epithelial cells, occasional hyaline cast, occasional uric acid crystal, rare calcium oxalate crystal, and 1+ mucus. How should these results be interpreted?arrow_forwardTube A is a 1/5 dilution and then, using Tube A, is diluted to make a 1/10 labeled Tube B. What is the dilution to be made for each tube, is using serum and saline? What is the dilution of the solution in tube 1 and 2 .arrow_forwardHow much serum is needed to create 2μL of a 1:20 dilution?arrow_forward
- Janice adds 1 mL of bacteria to a tube containing 2 mLs of nutrient broth and then adds an amount of a certain 50% stock disinfectant. The total volume of this tube is 5000 µL. what is the C1V1=C2V2 values for this equation?arrow_forwardIf you transferred 15 mL of an undiluted sample into 35 mL of diluting fluid, what dilution have you created? (Note: provide your answer in decimal format to three decimal places.)arrow_forwardBicillin CR is given IM. There are 600,000 units/mL in each syringe and the dose is 1.5 million units (1,500,000 units). What volume is to be administered?arrow_forward
- List the mechanism and give several names of the following: Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class IV antiarrythmics.arrow_forwardA cell count was performed on a serous fluid specimen. As the fluid was cloudy, a 1:5 dilution was prepared. The counts were: 34 and 32; 5 squares on each side were counted. What is the average cell count per L? Side 1: 34 x 1 x (1/(5x0.1)) x 5 = 340 per µl Side 2: 32 x 1 x (1/(5x0.1)) x 5= 320 per µlarrow_forwardwhat is the most efficient way to solve this dilution word problem?arrow_forward

Write numbers in the blanks to indicate the correct order in which the steps should be performed. Slowly release the micropipette's plunger. Place the micropipette tip into the tube containing fluid you wish to draw up. Push down on the micropipette plunger until it reaches the second stop. Place the micropipette tip into the tube that you wish to expel fluid into. Push down on the micropipette plunger until it reaches the first stop. 8) Suppose that you're getting ready to draw fluid into a micropipette. To do so, you push the micropipette's plunger…arrow_forwardHow do I calculate beers law? For serial dilutions. I want to look the concentration values from these absorbance readings in order to make a graph of conc vs absorbance.
