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 reliable detectability called the dynamic range. One form of this technique often (-5[1])incorporates a namesake factor of“10 times” to perform it (*) serially (10[1])and can use “log” (10[1])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 (10[1])solution, final volumes are calculated using the equation C-one times V-one equals C-two times V-two. For 10 points, name this process of adding solvent to a solution to lower its solute concentration. ■END■ (10[1])
