Gamewizard Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi so my question is basically on dilutions which I need to do for carrying out an MIC test in microbiology a 1 in 10 dilution converted to percentage is 0.01, a 1 in 100 dilution is 0.001, however if I had a 1 in 10 dilution in my microtitre plate well A1 in which I have added 1ml of bacteria and 9ml of water, how much would I be taking from this first well to the second well to make it 0.06% ? and how much sterile water would I be adding ? and also is 0.06, a 6 in 100 dilution ? please help confused !

CharonY Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Why is a 1 in 10 dilution 0.01? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamewizard Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Why is a 1 in 10 dilution 0.01? because 1/100 is 0.01 ? am i right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 because 1/100 is 0.01 ? am i right That's correct, but that would be a 1:100 dilution, not 1:10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
