Definition

A titer is a measurement of the amount or concentration of a substance in a solution. It usually refers to the amount antibodies found in a patient's blood.

Information

Blood titer measurements can be very helpful in determining medical treatment. Antibody titers can tell the doctor if the patient has immunity to diseases such as measles, small pox, and hepatitis. The measurement is expressed as a ratio, such as 1:40.

How do you calculate the titer of a solution?

To calculate the titer of a solution, you can use the formula: Titer (Volume of titrant) x (Molarity of titrant) This formula involves multiplying the volume of the titrant (the solution being added to the sample) by the molarity of the titrant (the concentration of the solution). The titer is a measure of the concentration of the substance being analyzed in the sample.

Define serum titer?

A titer is a quantifiable measure of specific antibodies in a serum that combines the effects of concentration and affinity. It is determined by serially diluting a sample or serum in tubes or in a multiple-welled micro-titer plate and mixing it with antigen. It is the Maximum dilution of the serum that holds "++" agglutination. For instance if you have 2 tube with "++" and different titre like 3:160 and 4:320 the titer of the serum will be 4:320
