Explain how you would make a 1/1000 dilution of a bacterial suspension if you only had 3 ml aliquots of BHI broth (diluent) available.
What size pipetman will you need to use to make this dilution?
Dilution factor = final volume / initial volume
Dilution factor = 1000
Final volume = ?
Initial volume = 1 ml (we will take 1 ml aliquot)
1000 = final volume / 1
Final volume = 1000 ml
Final volume = initial volume + volume of diluent
Volume of diluent = 1000 - 1 = 999 ml
Final solution of 1/1000 dilution will have 1 ml aliquot and 999 ml diluent.
We will use pipette of 100 ul to 1000 ul (1 ml). 999 ml we will measure by measuring cylinder.
Please rate high.

Lab 5: Additional Dilution Problems You have a stock solution that contains 24 mg/ml of protein. You want to make a set of standards with the following concentrations: 12 mg/ml, 6 mg/ml, 3 mg/ml and 1.5 mg/ml You need a minimum of 500 ul of each standard after all dilutions are completed. Using the technique of serial dilution, explain how you would make your standards by filling in the chart below. Std 4 Std 1 12 Std 2 6 Std...
Answer and do the following calculations: 1. Suppose your professor handed you a test tube with 2.0 mL of an E. coli broth culture in it and told you to make a 10–2 dilution of the entire culture. Explain how you would do this. Show your calculations. 2. How would you produce a 10–1 dilution of a 3 mL bacterial sample using the entire 3 mL volume? 3. You have 0.05 mL of an undiluted culture at a concentration of...
Please show how to do these enumeration questions by showing the work. What is the dilution factor if you add 625 µL of culture to 4.375 mL of dilution medium? You count the 10-3 dilution of a yeast suspension using the 1/25 mm2 boxes : you find 45 cells in box 1, 15 cells in box 2, 42 cells in box 3, 23 cells in box 4, and 26 cells in box 5. a) What is the original concentration of...

Explain this example of the following water quality serial dilution. Note the dilution factors and how you would calculate #;s from the incubated plates. A serial dilution yielded TBTC in the 1:1 plate and the 1:10 plate, 10 cfu’s in the 1:100 plate and 1 cfu’s in the 1:1000 plate. What is the concentration (CFU)/ml of the raw sample? Is water acceptable for portable or Recreational use? Explain. When do you use your filtration rather than serial dilution?
