1. In a serial dilution, one initially sets a starting dilution and adds an aliquot portion of it
successively to other tubes. Refer to the table below and fill in the missing values.

Final total volume (mL):
after transferring 1 mL to
the next tube

Dilution
Volume of serum
1:10
Total volume of solution
Dilution factor
(represents the
reciprocal of dilution)
Note: In dilution, the volume of serum decreases, while the volume of diluent increases.
Therefore, the antibody concentration decreases as well.
