Serial Dilutions

  • Serial dilutions are created by taking a series of dilutions of a stock solution. The concentration decreases by the same quantity between each test tube

    • They can either be ‘doubling dilutions’ (where the concentration is halved between each test tube) or a desired range (e.g. 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 mmol dm-3)

  • Serial dilutions are completed to create a standard to compare unknown concentrations against

    • The comparison can be:

      • Visual

      • Measured through a calibration/standard curve

      • Measured using a colourimeter

    • They can be used when:

      • Counting bacteria or yeast populations

      • Determining unknown glucose, starch, protein concentrations
