what is dilution rate for glycos
take 1 ml, add 9 ml water.
A dilution ratio is normally used for a mixture of two fluids: an active component and a carrier solvent. The dilution ratio is the ratio of the volume of the solvent to the volume of the active component.
Add 2 mL of culture to 20 mL of buffer. 2/20 = 1/10
The wording is important here. If it is a 2 *in* 5 dilution, then the scientist would need 200 ml of concentrate. The best way would be to take a graduated cylinder, put about 200 ml of solvent into the cylinder. Then put in the 200 ml of concentrate. Then add enough additional solvent to make a total of 500 ml. Mix, then pour it into a labeled and dated bottle, and screw on the lid. If it is a 2 *to* 5 dilution, then you need 2/7ths concentrate, and 5/7ths solvent. One seventh of 500 ml is about 71.43, so you would need 142.86 ml of concentrate, and fill the rest with solvent until the total is 500 ml.
