A technologist put five (5) tubes in a test tube rack and put 3 mL of diluent in each tube.
The tech then put 0.3 mL serum in the first tube and mixed it. Next, the tech then
transferred 1 mL of the mixture from the first tube to the second tube. This process was
carried on through tube number five (5). What is the dilution factor in tube number five?
A) 200
B) 300
C) 2816
D) 4872 - Answers- C) 2816
Feedback
The cumulative dilution factor in any tube in a dilution series is determined by
multiplying the dilution factors of all previous tubes in the series, and the calculation also
includes the tube in question.
Therefore, dilution factor (in a series) = tube #1's dilution factor x tube #2's dilution
factor...x tube #n's dilution factor.
