TABLE 1.
Coefficient of variation based on the culture data
| Bacteria | iSSC | CP-150 | Millipore |
|---|---|---|---|
| S. paucimobilis | 3.1% | 14.2% | 13.8% |
| R. pickettii | 20.3% | 25.3% | 143.8% |
| C. basilensis | 21.8% | 13.4% | 11.2% |
| Mean | 15% | 18% | 56% |
The values were obtained by dividing the sd by the mean. The values listed for each bacteria and each machine are based on 3 biologic replicates. A lower coefficient of variation value indicates less variability.
