Progressive Dilution Method

The Progressive Dilution Method is a technique used primarily in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry, to gradually reduce the concentration of a substance in a solution. This involves taking a small amount of a concentrated solution and mixing it with a specific volume of solvent, then repeating this process multiple times. Each step dilutes the solution further, allowing researchers to study the effects of varying concentrations on organisms or chemical reactions, helping to identify thresholds where changes occur. This method is essential for precise experimentation and understanding dose-response relationships.
