You take 10 ml of a stock solution, which is at a concentration of 1000 phage/ml, and dilute it to a total of 100 ml. From the resulting solution you take 5 ml and dilute it to 25 ml, and from the latter you take 5 ml and make a total of 20 ml. a) It will be possible to know how many bacteriophage particles there will be in 1 ml of the last solution b) What is the dilution factor in each step, in the same order in which the dilutions are made? c) What is the total serial dilution factor?
