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

What color tube do you collect for Titers?

For titers, blood can be collected in a red-top tube (serum separator tube) or a gold-top tube (serum separator tube with gel). The serum is then separated from the blood cells by centrifugation and used for the titer test.

Why to do serial dilution for WIDAL test?

Serial dilution in Widal test helps to determine the titer of antibodies in the patient's serum by observing the agglutination reaction with specific antigens. By diluting the serum sample in a stepwise manner, the titer at which agglutination occurs can be determined, providing valuable information about the presence and concentration of antibodies against Salmonella typhi and Paratyphi antigens in the blood.

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.
