Abstract
A method of constructing a calibration curve in a determination of microbial counts is provided. An immunoassay of the present invention is characterized in that samples of a specimen material are prepared so that microbial counts therein are altered.
Claims12
A method of constructing a calibration curve in the course of a process for determining the microbial count in a specimen material, the method comprising the steps of:
- 1) preparing samples of the specimen material that have altered microbial counts in a number sufficient for constructing a calibration curve,
- 2) measuring a predetermined parameter for each of the samples obtained in Step 1, and, at the same time, determining quantitatively the microbial count in each of the corresponding samples, and
- 3) correlating the measured values for the predetermined parameter with the microbial counts measured by the quantitative determination, thereby constructing a calibration curve.
