1) Why serial dilutions are preferred to one large dilution in lab experiments? Answer: Serial dilution is the technique of performing repeated dilutions on the same chemical in order to change its concentration. The diluted solution from a serial dilution can be used to calculate the concentration of the actual solution. In experimental work‚ often we need to obtain a range of concentrations for a specific compound. Thus‚ instead of preparing one large dilution‚ if we take a concentrated sample

DILUTIONS AND STANDARDS Many of the laboratory procedures involve the use of dilutions. It is important to understand the concept of dilutions‚ since they are a hand tool used throughout all areas of the clinical laboratory. These dilutions have to be considered as they make a quantitative difference in what is going on. First‚ there are several terms used in expressing dilution: 1. "Dilution: - Dilutions are expressed as the ratio of the quantity of a desired solute (serum‚ urine‚ chemical solution

Vocabulary: Lesson pH and dilutions Science Starter: Determine the pH of .0103M H3PO4 solution in water. Remember to look at the H+ count. Box 1 In a dilution‚ the number of solute particles does not change‚ just the concentration with respect to the volume. This relationship is _____________________ proportional. Initially‚ there is 275mL 0.125M stock solution of a substance. -Determine the amount of moles of solute present. -What is the concentration after a dilution when the final volume is

Serial Dilution Activity Many applications require the determination of microbial numbers. Those applications can be either clinical or in a research setting. Clinical applications include determination of antibiotic efficacy and as well as therapy. Research applications include determination of the effectiveness of antimicrobial chemicals‚ radiation‚ etc. The viable count is most common or standard method used to quantitate bacteria. With this method only microbes that are alive and able to reproduce

1. Introduction: The goal of this lab was to demonstrate the microbiology technique of serial dilutions and how they can effectively be used in experiments. E. coli cells were exposed to UV light for various amounts of time in order to asses the effect on growth and thereby mutations since this cell was modified to not have photolyse no uvr genes for DNA repair and thus can only use the SOS response. Each group then diluted the cells accordingly based on their UV exposure time and counted the cells

Introduction Increasing more than ever‚ American society is fascinated with serial and mass murderers. Throughout the decades‚ people have celebrated killers who have reached the peak of success within their field by glorifying them in movies‚ documentaries‚ magazines‚ and even on trading cards. In 1991‚ a trading card company in California created its first mass and serial card collection‚ which included notorious murderers such as Jeffrey Dahmer who killed 17 men between 1978 and 1991.

Serial Murder 1. James Knoll’s purpose for his research paper was to inform people about serial killers. He wanted his readers to understand that there is more to serial murder than what we see in books‚ movies‚ and television. The single idea he most importantly wants his readers to understand is that there is a lot about serial killing that we don’t know‚ even though there are many traits and hypothesizes about killers‚ it doesn’t necessarily mean if a person has that trait they are going to become
