You are preparing a 4-tube series of a 5-fold serial dilution. If Tube #1 contains 500 µL of undiluted stock solution, then how much diluent should be added to Tubes #2 - #4? 100 µL 250 µL 400 µL 500 µL You are preparing a 4-tube series of a 5-fold serial dilution. If Tube #1 contains 500 µL of undiluted stock solution, then what volume will be transferred from Tube #1 to Tube #2 to Tube #3 to Tube #4? 500 µL 400 µL 250 µL 100 µL

How would you set up a series of 5 tubes with a 1:4 serial dilution, such that you end up with 3 mL of solution in each tube? What is the final dilution in each tube?

You are preparing a series of dilutions starting with a concentration of 1 M for the stock solution. The dilution for each step is 1/5. The final volume in each step is 5 ml. Stock solution (1M) 1 2 3 4 5 a. What is the amount of diluent in tube 1? b. What is the concentration in tube 2? c. What is the dilution factor in tube 4?

You were asked to make a 1/1000 (10^-3) dilution of a reagent, and you have 10 ml of a dilution that is already at 1/100 (10^-2). You want to end up with a total volume of 10 ml. a) What volume of water (diluent) will you need to add to the next tube, and b) What volume of liquid would be taken from the first dilution? If you added one more dilution to the series, by taking 0.1 ml of the dilution to a total volume of 10 ml. a) What would your final dilution of the original sample be? b) How much diluent would you have to add to the last dilution tube? If you were asked to make only 1 ml total volume of the final dilution, how much of the third dilution preparation would you take to dilute it to 1 ml with the same dilution factor?
