title: Pipetting errors in viral titrations: a useful approach.
abstract: A simple recursive formula, which yields an estimate for the statistical error resulting from pipetting errors accumulated throughout a dilution procedure, is described. Its influence on the variance of the end-point titre estimate is then inferred.
