Abstract
The disclosure is directed at a system and method for rapid detection of low level bacteria in a growth medium. The method is directed at a two-stage process whereby a growth medium is incubated along with a first test formulation component for a predetermined period of time. After the incubation period, a second test formulation component is added to the growth medium to determine if there is a bacteria in the growth medium.
Claims18
A method of detection of low level bacteria in a growth medium sample comprising:
- adding a selective chromogenic substrate to the growth medium sample;
- incubating the growth medium sample for a predetermined period of time;
- and
- adding a dye reagent to the growth medium sample;
- wherein if a color change in the growth medium sample is observed, a presence of bacteria is confirmed.
2 more elements
A system for rapid detection of low level bacteria in a growth medium comprising:
- a first test formulation component that is incubated for a predetermined period of time within the growth medium for enabling bacteria enzyme growth;
- and
- a second test formulation component for adding to the incubated growth medium and first test formulation component.
