This document provides a method for evaluating aspects of the quality of a cell counting measurement
process for a specific cell preparation through a set of quality indicators derived from a dilution series
experimental design and statistical analysis. The quality indicators are based on repeatability of
the measurement and the degree to which the results conform to an ideal proportional response to
dilution. This method is applicable to total, differential, direct and indirect cell counting measurement
processes, provided that the measurement process meets the criteria of the experimental design (e.g.
cells are suspended in a solution).
This method is most suitable during cell counting method development, optimization, validation, evaluation and/or verification of cell counting measurement processes.
This method is especially applicable in cases where an appropriate reference material to assess
accuracy is not readily available. This method does not directly provide the accuracy of the cell count.
This method is primarily applicable to eukaryotic cells.Cross References:ISO 20391-1ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007ISO 3534-1ISO/IEC 25062ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008DIN 58932-1ISO 16732-1:2012ISO 8655-1:2002ISO 9000:2015ISO 5725-2:1994ISO 8655-6:2002ISO 15198:2004ISO 8655-2:2002ISO 5725-1:1994All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
