In microbiology, the colony-forming unit (CFU) assay stands as the gold standard for assessing the viability of cells. It is a simple and reliable method that offers a way to enumerate viable cells across various contexts, from food safety to drug discovery. However, despite its efficiency, the CFU assay has its drawbacks, notably its time- and res...
