Dilution problem 1 Prepare a serial 2 fold dilution to 1 64

Dilution problem.

1. Prepare a serial 2 fold dilution to 1 : 64

Solution

Here each tube will be half the amount of the first tube . If you do this six times of the original concentration then you willget 1:64 dilution. 1st dilution = 1 /2 2nd dilution = 1 /2 x 1 /2 = 1/4 3rd dilution = 1/4 x 1 /2 = 1/8 4th dilution = 1/8 x 1 /2 = 1/16 5th dilution = 1/16 x 1 /2 - 1/32 6th dilution = 1/32 x 1 /2 = 1/64
