What is the dilution factor in the task given if the total viable cells is 140 [28×5(squares)] and the total nonviable cells is 50 [10x5(squares)]?

TASK
1. From a 100-mL algal culture, 100-μL was mixed with 900-μL dilution buffer. From this
dilution, 10-μL was mixed with 10-μL of Trypan Blue, and was transferred to a hemocytometer
counting chamber. Following the same lab rules in the video, determine the percent cell
viability if all 5 squares had the same count as the square below (show your solution):
8
2. Determine the concentration of the original 100-mL algal culture in cells/mL (show your
solution).
