Dilution and Reaction Procedures

The video tutorial covers the preparation and execution of a dilution protocol for testing contamination levels. It includes gathering materials, setting up the dilution, measuring accurately, and mixing solutions. The process involves using a db6 buffer, incubating the reaction, and employing a test strip for quantification. The results are analyzed using a quick scan system to determine the Don level in the sample.

What additional items are necessary when running dilutions?

• Extra reaction tubes

• More test strips

• Additional filters

• Extra tubes and pipette tips

What should be done if the initial result exceeds the assay maximum?
