Example of calculation of results
Pr x 1000
X =----------------------
V
Where:
V
= Volume of sampled air = 200 litres of air
r
= Colony Forming Units counted on “ 55 mm Contact Plates” = 67
Pr
= Probable count obtained by positive hole correction = 80
x
= Colony Forming Units per 1000 litres (= 1 cubic metre) of air
80 x 1000
x = ------------------------- = 400 CFU per 1000 litres of air (1000 litres=1m
3
)
200
To express the final result in CFU/ft
3
multiply the CFU/m
3
value by 0,02832
