Complete BOC: ASCP Prep; Questions and Answers 100% Solved 151) What is the formula for calculating the dilution of a solution. Correct answer-V1 x C1 = V2 x C2 V1 is the volume C1 is concentration of sol 1 V2 is vol of the diluted solution C2 is conc of diluted solution 241) To confirm a serum antibody specificity identified as anti-P1, a neutralization study was performed and the following results obtained: serum + P1 substance = NEGATIVE serum + saline = NEGATIVE What conclusion can be made from these results. Correct answer-anti-P1 cannot be confirmed due to the results of the negative control (For neutralization studies to be valid, the saline dilutional control must be reactive. Since neutralization studies involve adding a substance to the patient's plasma, nonreactivity in test tubes may be due to simple dilution. The saline control acts as the dilutional control and must be reactive. When the saline control is reactive, then if the tube with the substance is nonreactive, the interpretation that neutralization has occurred is made. If it is reactive
