CFU/mL Calculator

Calculate CFU/mL



Formula

The formula to calculate the CFU/mL is:

\[ \text{CFU/mL} = N \times D \]

Where:

What is CFU/mL?

CFU/mL stands for colony-forming units per milliliter and is a measure of the number of viable bacteria or fungal cells in a sample. It is a common unit used in microbiology to estimate the concentration of microorganisms in a liquid culture. The CFU/mL value helps in understanding the level of contamination or the efficiency of bacterial growth under various conditions.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the CFU/mL:

\[ \text{CFU/mL} = 150 \times 1000 = 150,000 \text{ CFU/mL} \]

The CFU/mL is 150,000 CFU/mL.
