Success with serial dilutions depends strongly on many factors

Mettler-Toledo GmbH

The reliability of your pipetting system plays a decisive role

Serial dilutions are used very frequently in the biological and natural sciences. There are several factors to consider in order to create an optimal workspace, as serial dilutions are very error prone. In the first part of this white paper, ten points that can lead to critical deviations in the preparation of serial dilutions are listed and strategies to avoid errors are described. For example, one of the ten points describes the appropriate pipetting system, which consists not only of pipettes and tips, but also of a suitable pipetting technique. In the second part, the influence of pipetting accuracy in serial dilutions is discussed in detail and explained in an understandable and comprehensible way using a practical protocol.
