Further dilutions in multiples of ten can be prepared in the same way, and by varying the number of volumes of diluting fluid or serum any required dilution can be made (see Appendix, Dilution Tables).
Sterile test-tubes in which to make dilutions from the concentrated solutions of the disinfectants.
The dilutions thus prepared may be summarised in a table; Capsule I = 1 loopful + 10 c.
But the equivalent conductivity of weak acids, like acetic acid, and of weak bases, like ammonium hydroxide, in finite dilutions is still far removed from the limits which may be calculated for infinite dilutions.
If one takes care to make readings as described, the result is quite satisfactory, as is shown by the comparison of the ratios of the readings with the ratios calculated from the known conductivities of the various dilutions (see table below).
Dilutions can be kept one week in a dark, cool place.
In making dilutions you may use your syringe instead of pipette.
At dilutions beyond this limit, however, it is necessary to add a little more acid to obtain complete coagulation.
This was found to be the case up to dilutions of three or four times the volume of latex.
A person who once wrote a very small pamphlet made some show of objecting to calculations of thus kind, on the ground that the highest dilutions could easily be made with a few ounces of alcohol.
When the powder is of this strength, it is ready to employ in the further solutions and dilutions to be made use of in practice.
They are prepared in two forms, Dilutions and Triturations (powdered form).
We have different dilutionsand triturations, as IX, 2X, 3X, 4X, etc.
The preparation of these dilutions was directed to be carried out in a ceremonial sort of way.
This was a most opportune time to fasten on the healing art any doctrine or dogma, however absurd, and on this tide of ignorance and superstition, the doctrine of infinitesimal dilutionsfloated into popularity.
I am convinced that his theory of infinitesimal dilutions is as absurd and ridiculous as either the Weapon Ointment or the Sympathetic Powder treatment already referred to.
Yet some physicians make their dilutions thus, and insist upon the superiority of the centecimal over the decimal attenuations.
As it often becomes necessary for the practitioner to make more or less of his own dilutions and attenuations, some brief instructions especially to new beginners, may not come amiss.
In this table I have affixed to the remedies figures designating the dilutions or the attenuations, at which, under ordinary circumstances, I would advise their use.
The various dilutions of Trimethol Syrup were made with accurate volumetric pipettes, measuring flasks and distilled water was used as a diluent.
After some preliminary work the followingdilutions of the 50 c.
At intervals samples were removed and dilutions made and plated in duplicate on standard agar.
It is evident that such dilutions decrease considerably the feeble germicidal action of the original fluid.
The results given in Table 4 are the average count from a number of dilutions and are reported as the total number washed out by the 50 c.
The latter measures the relative diffusibility and germicidal power of carbolic acid and various dilutions of the germicide to be tested upon Bacillus coli suspended in 1.
I have never seen any such satisfactory cures of that disease from any kind of Allopathic treatment, nor from the low dilutions of Aconite or any other Homoeopathic remedy.
Aside from the technical difficulties, the reaction was found inconstant, and its occurrence was not noticed until the second week of the disease and even then only in low dilutions of the serum.
Serial dilutions of unheated patient's serum were mixed with equal amounts of bacterial suspension in small test tubes.
The indications are that the conspicuously effective part of the molecule is the cation or metal, and that the anion plays little or no part in causing the toxicity; in such great dilutions the metals act as free ions.
The substances fall into two groups: (1) Those that apparently become indifferent in highdilutions and never produce any increase in plant growth.
Ono states that the optimal quantity of such poisons as copper salts is lower for algae than for fungi, copper failing to stimulate algae at dilutions which were the most favourable to the growth of fungi.
In other cases these great dilutions are apparently indifferent, neither a poisonous nor a stimulative action being exerted on the growth of the plant (Fig.
A 2 per cent bleach solution, containing very little excess base, was diluted with distilled water and the various dilutions titrated with thiosulphate after the addition of potassium iodide.
The actual concentration represented by these dilutions depends necessarily upon the size of the drops and the strength of the undiluted Eau de Javelle, but one drop per 100 c.
For use this fluid must be more or less diluted and these dilutions are perishable when made with distilled water; Bacterian vegetation soon develops in them and they become turbid and are no longer fit for use.
To prevent this the dilutions must be sterilized through heat and be kept under cotton batting or be prepared with a 5 per cent.
I would merely remark to my honorable colleague that Koch's lymph was used in our school in all the homoeopathic dilutions possible at the moment of its far-resounding discovery--a fact which he should know as well as myself.
Arnulphy, in a series of articles in the Chicago Clinique, which I have read attentively, speaks favorably of Koch's lymph in homoeopathicdilutions in cases of tuberculosis.
Compton Burnett has christened it Bacillinum, because he recognized in its lower dilutions the presence of Koch's bacilli.
Dilutions made from the mineral water or triturations from the residue obtained by evaporation of the water.
He found good effects from the dilutions in some of these cases.
The tincture will be more convenient, and it is a question if the dilutions will not be equally efficient.
Like most homoeopathists who have made use of Bacillinum, I think it is best given in the high dilutions and at long intervals.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "dilutions" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
