00:01
Number one, you're performing a urine analysis.
00:03
The procedure calls for 1 5th dilution, 1 of 5 dilution, but you made a 1 of 10.
00:08
Then the procedure requires 0 .5 ml, but you only use 0 .2.
00:11
The glucose level is 60 milligrams per deciliter.
00:14
What should be reported out? so first of all, you're going to have to use the concentration, 60 milligrams per deciliter divided by the dilution, which is 10.
00:37
So you get 6 milligrams per deciliter.
00:40
However, you use less volume.
00:44
So the adjusted factor is 0 .5 ml divided by 0 .2 ml because you use less volume.
00:52
So this is actually 2 .5.
00:55
So this is the factor.
00:57
So obviously, you have to take the adjusted factor into consideration, 6 milligrams per deciliter times 2 .5.
01:07
You get 15 milligrams per deciliter.
01:12
So this is what you should report out.
01:16
Second, 7 .5 % saline was diluted 1 of 10, then 1 to 50.
01:22
What is the concentration of the final solution? so you have a 1 of 10 dilution first, and then you have 1 of 50.
01:35
So the final dilution is 1 of 10 times 1 of 50.
01:42
So it's 1 to 500.
01:45
So this is the final dilution factor.
01:58
Now, if you start out with 7 .5%, the final concentration is going to be diluted.
02:10
Concentration is going to be the initial concentration divided by the dilution factor.
02:20
So we know the initial concentration is 7 .5%, and the dilution factor is 500.
02:37
So you get 0 .015%.
02:50
And if you want to round off to the 100th, then you have to have only two decimals, 0 .02%.
03:01
So you run it up.
03:03
The next question, you are making a 0 dilution using 10 tubes.
03:13
Tube 1 has 9 milliliter of broth, and all the others have 1.
03:20
So 1 milliliter of bacteria is added to tube number 1.
03:23
So that means 1 goes into 1 plus 9 total volume.
03:30
So this is a 1 to 10 dilution.
03:32
This is a tube 1.
03:37
Now, 1 milliliter from this tube is transferred to the second tube and so on.
03:43
So basically, the rest of them, you have 1 milliliter of culture instead of 9.
03:51
So then the next one, tube number 2, is 1 into 1 plus 1 milliliter total volume.
04:01
So it's a 1 to 2 dilution compared to tube number 1.
04:06
So this is a tube 2.
04:10
And so go on.
04:12
The next one, you take 1 out and add it into another 1.
04:17
So it's 1, i guess i would just say 1 plus 1 again...
