Measuring Spore Concentration with Hemacytometer
Measuring Spore Concentration with Hemacytometer
1. Mix spore solution well.
2. Add 10 µl of spore solution to each side of the hemacytometer.
3. Count number of spores in zones A, B, C, D and E on both sides of the hemacytometer, record them, and calculate the average of the two sides.
a. If a spore falls on the left or bottom line DO NOT count it.
b. If a spore falls on the right or top line DO count it
A B
E
C D
4. To determine the number of spores per mL
a. (A + B + C + D + E) x 2000
5. Dilute the spore solution to desired concentration (spores/mL)
a. Use C1V1= C2V2 formula
i. Ex. If spore solution is found to be 67,000 spores/mL and you want 40mL of 50,000 spores/mL
ii. 67,000 x = 40 * 50,000
a. x = 2,000,000 = 29.85 ~=30mL
b. 67,000
iii. So, you will add 30mL spore solution to 10mL sterile dH20 (40-30=10) to give a final concentration of 50,000 spores/mL in 40mL
6. You can use the Excel worksheet:

to print out a data entry form or to calculate spore concentrations.
