Preferred term

dilution techniques  

Definition

  • Dilution techniques are methods used to determine the amount of a particular nutrient or other substance in a person's body. They are more consistently accurate than simply measuring a person's serum levels of a particular nutrient, because these serum levels may fluctuate greatly, depending on the person's state of stress, infection, fatigue, or general nutrition.
