DILUTIONS AND STANDARDS

In other words, an initial dilution is made and then this dilution is used to make a second dilution, and so on. For example, a 1:2 serial dilution is made using a 1 mL volume of serum. This expression indicates that 1 mL of serum is added to 1 mL of H20 and then mixed. This initial dilution is 1:2. ................
