SUM % 0.0000
Mean % #DIV/0!
Therefore, reproducibility standard deviation is, SD % #DIV/0!
SDx2 % #DIV/0!
Mean% recovery of the log10 value = 99.7310% ; SD of % recovery = 2.0642%
Apply coverage factor (k=2 for 95% coverage)
Expanded MU = 2 x standard deviation (%)
2 x 2.0642% = 4.1283 = 0.04128

Calculation for uncertainty interval (Example)

Test Item result = 440 cfu/g or cfu/ml, convert 440 in log10 = 2.6434
Expanded Uncertainty for log counts = 2.6434 x 0.04128 = 0.1091
The Interval in log10 count is :
Lower bound 2.6434 – 0.1091= 2.5343 and
Upper bound 2.6434 + 0.1091 = 2.7525
Calculatation of lower and upper bound
lower bound 102.5343= 342 and
Upper bound 102.7525 = 566

Therefore uncertainty interval is to cfu/g or cfu/ml
