Determining the viable cell count is important for calculating dilutions required for the passaging of cells, as well as determining the size and number of flasks needed during growth time. It is also vital when seeding plates for assays, such as the plaque assay , [ 2 ] because the plates need a known number of live replicating cells for the ...
The Miles and Misra Method (or surface viable count) is a technique used in Microbiology to determine the number of colony forming units in a bacterial suspension or homogenate. The technique was first described in 1938 by Miles, Misra and Irwin who at the time were working at the LSHTM. [1] The Miles and Misra method has been shown to be ...
As the surface area of most filters is less than that of a standard Petri dish, the linear range of the plate count will be less. [11] The Miles and Misra methods or drop-plate method wherein a very small aliquot (usually about 10 microliters) of sample from each dilution in series is dropped onto a Petri dish. The drop dish must be read while ...
The count represents the number of colony forming units (cfu) per g (or per ml) of the sample. A TVC is achieved by plating serial tenfold dilutions of the sample until between 30 and 300 colonies can be counted on a single plate. The reported count is the number of colonies counted multiplied by the dilution used for the counted plate
The table shown on the right can be used in a two-sample t-test to estimate the sample sizes of an experimental group and a control group that are of equal size, that is, the total number of individuals in the trial is twice that of the number given, and the desired significance level is 0.05. [4]
When the method only recounts living organisms is called "viable count". [2] There are many methods for the quantification of microorganisms, including microscopy methods, Coulter counter, Mass Spectrometry (for estimating cell mass), and Cell Culture methods which form and grow colonies of bacteria.
A concept of operations (abbreviated CONOPS, CONOPs, [1] or ConOps [2]) is a document describing the characteristics of a proposed system from the viewpoint of an individual who will use that system. Examples include business requirements specification or stakeholder requirements specification (StRS) .
The Simple Function Point method was designed by Roberto Meli in 2010 to be compliant with the ISO14143-1 standard and compatible with the International Function Points User Group (IFPUG) Function Point Analysis (FPA) method. The original method (SiFP) was presented for the first time in a public conference in Rome
