More generally, the formula for the 95% confidence interval on the mean is: Lower limit = M - (tCL)(sM) Upper limit = M + (tCL)(sM) where M is the sample mean, tCL is the t for the confidence level desired (0.95 in the above example), and sM is the estimated standard error of the mean.
Lower Limit. A central concern in this determination is the reporting of the Limit of Quantification (which is what we are really interested in reporting) against the Limit of Detection (1 CFU). This is an important distinction if we are being held to specifications in the lower range.n this analysis, plates with more than 400 CFU were unsatisfactory, as were those of less than 30 CFU, with best results in the range of 50-200 CFU/plate.
