what is the purpose of serial dilution?

Answer:
dilution is the process of making a solution wearkres or less concentrated
HOLA !!
Serial dilution is a series of sequential dilution that are performed to convert a dense solution to more usable concentration.
A ten fold serial dilution could be 1m , 0.1m , 0.01m , 0.001m.
The objective of serial dilution method is to estimate
the concentration ( no of microorganisms or colonies) of an unknown sample by enumeration of the no of colonies cultured from serial dilutions of the sample.
The density of cells is reduced in each step so that it is easier to calculate the concentration of the cells in the original solution by calculating the total dilution over the series . (This method is used in microbiology)
In biochemistry , it is used to obtain the desired concentration of reagents and chemicals from a higher concentration .
