Draft a short microbiology summary from two counts and their limits, with a pass or fail verdict, and keep it saved on this device.
Try sample values — fills the form with the worked example below.

log₁₀ aerobic count

log₁₀ coliform count

Overall (1 = pass)
Report: —
Equation: log₁₀ count = log₁₀(count); a test passes when count ≤ its limit; the report passes only when every test passes.
Method: Report content per ISO 7218:2007 (expression of results) with enumeration per FDA BAM Chapter 3 and ISO 4833-1:2013; limits come from the product specification.
Assumptions: Each count is a single representative result and each limit is the specification limit for that test.
Limitations: This generator drafts a summary from the counts entered — it does not replace the laboratory's reviewed report or the analyst's signature.
Rounding: log₁₀ values to 3 decimal places; intermediates unrounded.
This is a calculation aid, not a laboratory report — confirm against your accredited method before citing a value.

Worked example: Sample S-2026-118: aerobic count 8,000 CFU/g (limit 100,000) and coliforms 90 CFU/g (limit 100): log₁₀ values 3.903 and 1.954; both tests pass, so the report is a pass.
