What is the dilution factor when 0.2 mL is added to 3.8 mL of diluent?
So in the above problem, all successive tubes would have 3.8 mL of diluent. You would then transfer 0.2 mL of the initial diluted sample into the next tube, mix, transfer 0.2 mL, mix, and so on. If you had 4 tubes, what would be the final dilution of tube 4?
A blood glucose of 800 mg/dL was obtained. According to the manufacturer, the highest glucose result which can be obtained on this particular instrument is 500 mg/dL. The sample must be diluted.
