Expert Solution

Step 1

Many clinical laboratory procedures employ the dilution method for various purposes while performing an experiment.
It is important to know the concept of dilution, which is considered a handy tool throughout all areas of the clinical laboratory.
While performing dilution in the clinical laboratory, one must know the dilution of each tube and a chart should be created to indicate the dilution of each tube.
If we know the dilution factor, we can easily multiply each successive tube and can easily determine the concentration of each tube to form a chart.
