... lab. The standard I started with was created from 10mL of culture plus 1mL of TCA, so it has a dilution factor of 1.1 I then created a diluted sample from this standard by removing 0.5mL from it, and adding 0.5mL of water to it. Should I take into consideration the dilution factor of the standard ...

... pH (your TA probably used Trist pH=7.4). The anomaly you witnessed was probably due to the fact that the hemocytometer is not as precise when the sample is really concentrated, and the thing has an incredibly high error rate anyway (which is why biologists don't really use the thing anymore, there ...

... fixed cells using a hemocytometer. It was straightforward, but I got some wacky results. We counted cells for a control, dilute, and concentrated sample. All of these came from the same initial fixed stock. We also did a differential count for dividing cells using the same samples My weird results ...
