Assay for detecting the presence of odorous compound on a surface comprising enclosing the surface in a compartment, which compartment comprises an odor capturing agent including a visual indicating agent, wherein the surface comprises an odorous compound derived from biofilm.
(canceled)
A method for comparing the presence of odorous compound on a first surface with the presence of an odorous compound on at least one more surface comprising:
- a. Enclosing the first surface in a first compartment comprising an odor capturing agent including a visual indicating agent;
- b. enclosing at least one more surface in one or more separate compartments, where each compartment comprise an odor capturing agent including a visual indicating agent;
- c. comparing the color development in each compartment,
- wherein the first surface and/or the at least one more surface comprises an odorous compound derived from biofilm.
Device for detecting the presence of odorous compound on at least one surface, which device comprises at least one separate compartment, wherein the at least one separate compartment is adapted to receive at least one surface and each separate compartment comprises an odor capturing agent including a visual indicating agent.
Kit for detecting an odorous compound comprising at least one device.
