You performed the following dilution series, using plasma and saline, to determine the concentration of an analyte. Tube 1: 300 uL plasma and 2.2 mL saline. Tube 2: 150 uL of tube 1 and 750 uL saline Tube 3: 100 uL of tube 2 and 900 uL saline a. (1pt) Type the equation (use actual plasma and saline volumes) that you would use to determine the dilution in tube 1. b. (1 pt) Type the equation that you would use to determine the final or cumulative dilution in tube 2. c. (1 pt) Which tube do you expect to have the least concentration (Tube 1, Tube 2, or Tube 3) of any analyte in plasma. d. (2 pts) After running the assay or test, your patient’s analyte concentration in tube 3 is 100 mg/dL.  Would you report this concentration (100 mg/dL)? (yes or no).  Why or why not?
