it is considered 2 b more helpful in the diagnosis
as its gives us rough idea about abs present os not and in
how much concentration
widal by tube

> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
> 8th row is our negative control
now
1 clean tube for master dilution is taken
this is our master dilution (1:10 )

now transfer this master .5ml to 1st nd 2nd rows
add saline .5ml fron 2nd row to 8th row

u have to tak .5ml saline in 1st row only
here dil will be 1:20 after adding antigen .5ml

from 2nd row .5ml from master +.5 saline form = 1ml which
will be diluted serially
to other tubes horizontally
which will double our dilution afetyr addition of
respectine antigen(0,h,ah nd bh)
