DILUTIONS AND STANDARDS

If you expressed this using one of the above terms you must say 1 mL was added to 10 mL or 1 mL was diluted to 11 mL. This means a 1/11 dilution was made since: volume of serum/total volume of solution = 1 mL serum/[1 mL serum +10 mL H20] = 1:11. 4. "Serial dilution" - This term is frequently used and refers to a "multiple" dilution problem. ................
