[ noun ] (chemistry) a diluted solution
Used in print (A. N. Nagaraj and L. M. Black, "Localization of...)This specific fluorescence was readily distinguished from the light_green nonspecific fluorescence in consecutive sections stained with 1 : 10 dilution of NS and * * f or with * * f alone . In all the above procedures , when the intermediate sera were diluted to 1 : 10 or 1 : 100 with 0.85 % saline , the specific and nonspecific fluorescence were not appreciably reduced , whereas , a dilution of the intermediate sera to 1 : 500 or diluting the * * f to 1 : 5 greatly reduced specific fluorescence . With this purified conjugate the best staining procedure consisted_of treating the sections with 1 : 10 dilution of * * f for 30_minutes , washing with PBS for 15_minutes , staining with * * f for 30_minutes , and washing with PBS for 15_minutes . (Ross E. McKinney and Howard Edde, "Aerated...)This low BOD was_due to removal of the excess suspended solids by sedimentation since the only dilution was surface runoff which was very low during this study . |

[ noun ] weakening (reducing the concentration) by the addition of water or a thinner
Synonyms Used in print (A. N. Nagaraj and L. M. Black, "Localization of...)After passing * * f through DEAE-cellulose , the titer of antibodies to WTV in the specific fraction was 1 : 4 of the titer before such passage ( precipitin ring tests by R._F._Whitcomb ) ; but mere dilution of the conjugate to 1 : 4 did not satisfactorily remove nonspecific staining . This indicates that increase in specificity of * * f after passing it through DEAE-cellulose was not merely due_to dilution . Related terms |
