A system for identifying microbial growth

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a system for identifying microbial growth. The system comprises a cartridge for receiving a sample that may comprise a pathogen, the cartridge comprising an array of wells, each well comprising an electrochemical transducer. The system also comprises a processor configured to interrogate each of the electrochemical transducers, wherein interrogation of the electrochemical transducers comprises, for each well: generating a first data series by repeatedly measuring a first dependent variable; and generating a second data series by repeatedly measuring either the first, or a second dependent variable. The processor is further configured to determine, based on the first and second data series from each well, whether there has been microbial growth in any of the wells.
