Question

Linearity-of-[this process] and spike-and-recovery data are used to verify the accuracy of ELISA. In one analytical tool, the LOQ and LOL bookend a region where conducting this process still results in (-5[1])reliable detectability called the dynamic range. One form of this technique often incorporates a namesake factor of“10 times” to perform it (*) serially and can use “log” scaling that corresponds to a ratio of 3.16. Activity coefficients are usually reported in the limit of “infinite [this process].” When performing this process from a stock solution, final (10[1])volumes are calculated (10[2])using the equation C-one times (10[1])V-one equals C-two times V-two. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this process of adding solvent to a solution to lower its solute concentration. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])

ANSWER: dilution [or serial dilution; accept dilution factor; accept of linearity-of-dilution]
