What is 2-fold serial dilution?

Posted January 9, 2024


Answer

A two-fold serial dilution diminishes a solution’s concentration by halving it or reducing it by one-half. This process is repeated in a series to create a range of solutions with decreasing concentrations, each being half the concentration of the previous one. Thus, when multiple consecutive dilutions occur , it's known as a two-fold serial dilution.
