Prepare 8.0 ml of a 1/32 dilution of dye from stock. Do not make a serial dilution. Use the space below to determine the amount of solute and diluent needed for this dilution. (Compare to tube 5 in twofold dilutions).
Added by Cheryl M.
Step 1
- Since the dilution is 1/32, this means that the final concentration will be 1 part dye to 31 parts diluent. - To calculate the amount of dye needed, we can use the formula: Volume of dye = (Volume of final solution) / (Dilution factor) Volume of dye = 8.0 Show more…

Prepare a 1024-fold dilution of the dye stock by the three methods outlined below. Each method is to end up with 200 ̀̀̀̀̀µl in a clearly labeled 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube: 1) Directly dilute 1 µl into 1 ml. Transfer 200 µl into a final tube. Note that this is a 1000-fold dilution! 2) Serially diluting by 2 consecutive 32-fold dilutions. 3) Serially diluting by 10 consecutive 2-fold dilutions.

Construct a dilution series of a Bromophenol blue dye with the following dilutions: Dilution Factor: 10 40 160 640 3,200 16,000 80,000 BPB dH2O In this example, the minimum volume left in each tube must be at least 100 ̇bl.

After your last dilution, you have one more procedure left to accomplish that requires you to make a serial dilution of your stock solution (water is the diluent). The serial dilution requires you to prepare a serial tripling dilution out to a 1/71 dilution. You have 0.5 mL of stock solution left and can use the entire remaining stock to prepare this dilution. In the space below diagram each of the tubes that will be present in this serial dilution and below each tube indicate the tube dilution, total dilution, volumes of diluent and solute you plan to use, and list the pipettes you will use for each measurement.
