Oct 08, 2013 A serial dilution is a series of sequential dilutions used to reduce a dense culture of cells to a more usable concentration. The easiest method is to make a series of 1 in 10 dilutions.

Dilutions: Explanations and Examples of Common Methods. There are many ways of expressing concentrations and dilution. The following is a brief explanation of some ways of calculating dilutions that are common in biological science and often used at Quansys Biosciences. To perform a serial dilution, a small amount of a well-mixed solution is transferred into a new container and additional water or other solvent. is added to dilute the original solution. The diluted sample is then used as the base solution to make an additional dilution.
[di-loo´shun] 1. reduction of concentration of an active substance by admixture of a neutral agent.
serial dilution a set of dilutions in a mathematical sequence. In microbiological technique, serial dilutions are used to obtain a culture plate that yields a countable number of separate colonies. From this, a calculation of viable cells in the original suspension can be made, as a colony picked for pure culture.
