If there is no microbial colony found on settle plate ,observed count will be written as zero or nil or <1?

Why we can not write zero?

Yes,but how many count will be considered for result?

Sajjad_Ahmad · October 25, 2018, 2:53am

7 cfu are allowed in class B

in above example, total 5 colony found in 4 plate. so average count will be 1.25.Area is pass. maximum 5 count is acceptable in grade b as per EU GMP 2008.
