You are given 1 ml pipettes that are marked in .01 ml increments. You are told to use these pipettes to make a 1/180 dilution in three steps (i.e. by making three successive dilutions). Describe how you would do this including volume of sample and volume of diluent used for each step.
The serial dilution can be performed in following steps,

You are given a culture that has a concentration of 2.1x10^9 cfu.ml. you are asked to dilute it and plate it so that you have 270 colonies on one plate. you are given plenty diluent but only 4 tubes with which to make your dilutions. Demonstrate how you would set up the dilution. For each step indicate in an orderly fashion the V2, V1, Diluent volume, dilution, c-dilution, DF, CDF up to that step and the concentration of each tube.
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...
8. Describe briefly how you would prepare, with a minimum number of dilutions, a 1x 10 Msolution of NaOH given the following: a 0.08 M stock solution of NaOH; 2, 5, 10 mL pipettes; 10, 20, 50, 100 mL volumetric flasks. (Show your working)

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 1 Std 2 Std 3 Std 4 concentration (mg/ml) 12 6 3...
1. You have a bacterial cell culture with a concentration of 1x109 cells/ml. You need to dilute the cells to a concentration of 1x103. What is the correct ratio for this dilution? 2. You add 0.1 ml of a yeast culture to a test tube that contains 9.9 ml of buffer solution. What is the dilution factor of this mixture? 3. In a 1000 µl total dilution volume, the volume of cell culture used is 800 µl. What is the...

(A) You have a sample with an original concentration of 1.0 x 10^7 CFU/mL. With the Plate Count Method, what final dilution factor would be needed to produce countable plates? Show your work. (B) Describe a dilution scheme (how many tubes, what volume in each tube, what DF is achieved in each step) that uses only the 9-mL blank diluent tubes to achieve the dilution needed for this FDF.
Dilution Practice Problem #5 You are given the following bacterial dilution scheme: ml 1 ml 1 ml 1 ml 1 ml CODILE 9ml 9ml 9ml 0.1 ml 0.1 ml colonies) (colonies colonies) Individual tube dilutions: BCD Dilution Factor: Total tube dilutions) IDE AB Plated dilution factor 1. Which plate is the countable plate? (30-300 countable range) 2. Calculate the titer of the original culture in cfu/ml.
1. You are given 15 ml of a 45% solution and told to add (not dilute to) 175 ml. What will the final strength of the diluted solution be? 2. You need to make a 10% solution using 4 ml of a 70% stock solution. How much sterile saline do you need to add to make this product? 3. You are given 5 ml of a 65% solution. If you dilute the solution to make a 15% solution, what is...
