One hundred (100) ml of raw goat's milk bought from a street vendor is added in bottle 1 which initially contains 900 ml diluent. The sample was serially diluted by transferring 10 ml each to the succeeding bottles 2, 3 and 4 all of which contain 90ml diluent. Calculate the final dilution in bottle 4 expressed in decimal number. (Attach a screenshot of your computations at the end of the assessment). 0.01 0.001 0.0001 0.00001 0.000001

You have a 6 M solution of stock A. You do the following serial dilutions: Add 1 ml of stock A to tube B. Add 9 ml H2O. Mix.Then take 1 ml from tube B and put it into tube C. Add 19 ml H2O. Mix. Then put 5 ml from tube C into tube D. Add 5 ml H2O. A. what is the final (cumulative) dilution of stock A (dilution factor)? B. What is the final concentration (include units) after all these dilutions?
You want to set up a 1:10 dilution series, so that you can plate a 10-1, 10-2, and a 10-3dilution; however, you only have access to two9 ml dilution blanks. Explain how you could accomplish this task with only two blanks.
How do you calculate the initial concentration of a sample? How would you make a 1:10 dilution of a broth culture if the final volume of the dilution is 10 ml? How much broth, and how much diluent, would you add? If you made a series of tenfold dilutions, exactly the same way as you described in question 1, what would be the dilution factor in the fifth tube? The following are errors that people commonly make when they perform serial dilutions. Indicate whether you think that the number of cfu/ ml calculated would be too high or too low if you make this mistake. You intend to add 0.9 ml of diluent to each tube and 0.1 ml of culture. Instead, you add 0.5 ml of diluent to each tube and 0.1 ml of culture to the first tube. Then, you make a serial dilution of 0.1 ml into and from each tube as described. You prepare 0.9 ml of diluents in each tube. You add 0.1 ml of culture (from the overnight culture provided) to every tube. You add 0.9 ml of diluent to each tube. You add 0.1 ml of…
Mary Jo prepared a series of diluted samples by taking 1 mL of sample and adding it to 4 mLs of diluent. She then diluted the sample further by adding 1 mL of diluted sample to 19 mLs of diluent. What is the final dilution factor ?

In this question, you need to discuss the results you obtained from the BSA standards to generate your standard curve. Are you confident in the absorbance values you measured from the BSA standards? Was there variability between your duplicates? Comment on the shape of your standard curve and note the highest absorbance you would consider for interpolating the concentration of an unknown sample.
A.How much of 10,000x SYBR safe would you add to 50 ml to make a final concentration of 1x? B.How will you set up the serial dilution? How many tubes do you need? What is the concentration in each? How much LB will you add to each tube? What volume of cells will you add?
In the spread plate method, why is the volume plated usually limited to not more than 0.1 mL?
