Statistical examination of AOAC use-dilution method for testing disinfectant efficacy. 1985

J R Trout

The AOAC use-dilution method is examined from a statistical viewpoint by using the fundamental concept of operating characteristic curves to focus attention on the inadequately defined aspects of the acceptance/rejection criteria used for disinfectant registration and enforcement purposes.
