Serial Dilution
Many of the laboratory procedures involve the use of dilutions. It is important to understand the concept of dilutions, since they are a handy 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. nA serial dilution is any dilution where the concentration decreases by the same quantity in each successive step. If an answer contains a one/10 dilution the quantity represents 1 a part of the patient sample additional to nine components of dilutant.
So the volumes used would be 10-1= nine.
This represents one half patient sample additional to nine components of thinner.

The size of microorganisms is about 1/10th the size of a typical human cell, and measured in the scale of one millionth of a meter known as micrometer [1]. Moreover, it is often important to know not only what kinds of microorganism are present in a given or obtained sample but also to know the number of microorganism in sample which is difficult to count under the naked eyes because of their small size under the naked eyes. The size of microorganisms is about 1/10th the size of a typical human cell, and measured in the scale of one millionth of a meter known as micrometer [1].

this can be a series of ½ dilutions. every consecutive tube can ½ the number of the initial focused answer. If this can be done vi times this can be what you'd find yourself with:1st dilution = one /2, 2nd dilution = one /2 x one /2 = 1/4 ,3rd dilution = one/4 x 1 /2 = ⅛, 4th dilution = one/8 x 1 /2 = 1/16,5th dilution = one/16 x 1 /2 - 1/32, 6th dilution = one/32 x 1 /2 =
