Abstract
The Microtiter Count method was compared with the Standard Plate Count (SPC) method in four different laboratories. An unamended as well as a modified procedure were used. Statistical analysis showed that at the 95% confidence limit the amended procedure was reliable compared with the SPC for making a viable cell count of raw milk. The Microtiter Count method was credited with savings of time, space, and material. However, the operator needs some practice and comparative testings before using the method for routine analysis.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
