The Spearman Estimator for Serial Dilution Assays

The Spearman Estimator for Serial Dilution Assays

A new estimation procedure is presented for the estimation of the density of organisms in a suspension by a serial dilution assay. The point estimator is based on the Spearman technique, is simply and quickly computed without special tables, and has efficiency 88 percent.
