Drip flow reactor method exhibits excellent reproducibility based on a 10-laboratory collaborative study

Abstract

A standard method for growing Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm in the Drip Flow Biofilm Reactor was assessed in a 10-laboratory study. The mean log density was 9.29 Log₁₀(CFU/cm²). The repeatability and reproducibility SDs were equal to 0.22 and 0.24, respectively, providing statistical confidence in data generated by the method.
