Using the hemocytometer you determine that your yeast cultur

Using the hemocytometer, you determine that your yeast culture contains 8 x 106cells/ml. You dilute the spores be at a concentration of 200 cells/0.1 ml. What is the dilution factor that you used?

Solution

10,000

Using the hemocytometer, we used the following farmula:-

Cell concentration (in cells/ml) = average count x 2 x 10,000 x dilution factor of original cells
