Question

what is dilation of blood during count​

Answer 1

The dilution factor is 1:200. Convert the number of red blood cells that are counted in 5 squares to the number of red blood cells/µl. (N.B. 1 µl (microliter) = 1 cubic mm ). Since only 5 out of the 25 squares (1:5) are counted, you must multiply your count by 5.

Female: 3.9-5.6 million/µl

Male: 4.5-6.5 million/µl
