A serial dilution is a laboratory technique used to create a series of solutions from an initial stock solution. They can be used to prepare a standard curve or to reduce the concentration of a sample to a manageable level while still being able to calculate the original concentration. A serial dilution can also create a range of experimental conditions.
Our instructional handout, video demonstration, and poster for classroom support will help you get you started.
At Carolina, we believe that it is essential for students to master foundational lab skills that will propel them throughout their academic and professional careers. We created a series of resources designed to help both teachers and students develop the lab skills needed to succeed.
