MLT ASCP PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS BOARD PRACTICE 2023 LATEST SOLUTION UPDATE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The correct answer for this question is 1300 mg/dL. The laboratorian performed a 1:4 dilution by adding 0.25 mL (or 250 microliters) of patient sample to 750 microliters of diluent. This creates a total volume of 1000 microliters. So, the patient sample is 250 microliters of the 1000 microliter mixed sample, or a ratio of 1:4. Therefore, the result given by the chemistry analyzer must be multipli...
