Abstract

AbstractDilution assays involve a number of steps in the preparation of the dilutions and the delivery of the diluent. These steps may give rise to dilution errors. If assays are treated as if the nominal dilutions have been used then under estimates of micro‐organism density may occur. In this paper models for dilution errors are introduced.
