Calculate and Illustrate (draw) how you would make four serial 3-fold dilutions such that each tube has a volume of 6 mL. There should be at least 3 mL in each tube following the preparation of all dilutions, because that is a minimal requirement for this particular experimental setup. [HINT: Start with how to make 3-fold dilutions and scale-up to give sufficient, or extra, such that each tube will have at least 3 mLs at the end]

Step 1
To make a 3-fold dilution, we need to mix 1 part of the stock solution with 2 parts of the diluent. Show more…

Calculate the dilutions for each tube; then calculate the dilutions for the four plates when transferring 0.1 mL from the corresponding tube. Show all your work in scientific notation. Hint: Observe the diagram carefully.
I need to make a serial dilution of a protein solution as shown in the image below: You have 100 mg/mL. What will be the concentration in tube #3? Show units!
