Study Notes
Laboratory Tools
- Pipettes are used to measure volumes of liquid precisely and accurately.
Hemocytometers
- Hemocytometers were developed for counting blood cells.
- A hemocytometer has two counting chambers.
- Each chamber has a microscopic grid etched on the glass surface.
Dilution Factor
- The formula to calculate the dilution factor is: (Volume of sample + Volume of diluting fluid) / Volume of sample.
