Best Answer

Dilution factor is the final volume / aliquot volume.

Aliquot volume is the measure of sub volume of original sample. Final volume is the total volume.

Dilution factor =final volume /aliquot vol.

for example ; what is the df when you add 2ml sample to 8m???

total vol is 2+8=10

DF=total vol/aliquot.

10/2=5

So 5 is dilution factor

Definition of dilution and dilution factor?

In chemistry and biology, the dilution factor is the total number of unit volumes in which the material is dissolved. As I understand it, the dilution refers to the dilution ratio. If you add 1 part of something to 4 parts of something else, the dilution ratio is 1 to 4. The dilution factor counts all the parts and expresses the same thing as 1 out of 5.
