A method of assembling a nozzle assembly is disclosed. The method includes: providing a nozzle member having a central passage defined by at least an inner side surface and an inner distal surface; inserting a fluid atomizer into the central passage of the nozzle member; and, with a distal surface of the fluid atomizer arranged adjacent the inner distal surface of the nozzle member, flexing legs of the fluid atomizer in a radially-outward direction for engaging each leg of the legs with the inner side surface of the nozzle member. A fluid atomizer is also disclosed. A nozzle assembly is also disclosed. A method of utilizing a nozzle assembly is also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention concerns a method for detecting antibiotics with beta -lactam core in a biological fluid comprising the following steps: a) contacting a specific volume of said biological fluid with an amount of identifying agent and incubating the resulting mixture in conditions for forming a complex of the antibiotics possibly present in said biological fluid with the identifying agent; b) contacting the mixture resulting from step a) with at least a reference antibiotic immobilised on a support, in conditions for forming a complex of the reference antibiotic with the amount of identifying agent which has not reacted in step a); and c) determining the amount of identifying agent fixed on the support. The invention is characterised in that the identifying agent comprises a receptor sensitive to antibiotics with beta -lactam core obtained from Bacillus licheniformis.
摘要:
A fluid retainer cartridge assembly is disclosed. The fluid retainer cartridge assembly includes a base portion and a cap portion. The base portion defines a plurality of implement-receiving channels. The cap portion is removably-connected to the base portion. The cap portion defines a fluid-receiving void that is fluidly-divided into an upstream fluid-receiving void and a downstream fluid-receiving void by a flange of the base portion that is disposed within the fluid-receiving void of the cap portion. The upstream fluid-receiving void is in fluid communication with the downstream fluid-receiving void by a fluid-flow passage formed by the flange of the base portion. A method is also disclosed.
摘要:
The disclosure generally relates to a test device that detects microorganism growth by detecting a gas metabolite (e.g., carbon dioxide) produced during the growth of bacteria or other microorganism in a tested sample. The test device can contain a culture growth media separated from a detection area by a gas-permeable membrane. The gas-permeable membrane permits carbon dioxide to permeate into the detection area. The detection area includes a solidified mixture of pH indicators and a gelling agent in the form of a semi-permeable matrix. The optical properties, including the absorbance of light at various wavelengths, of the detection solution change with alterations in carbon dioxide concentration. This test device can then be placed in an incubation and optical detection instrument to monitor changes in optical properties of the detection are induced during microorganism growth in the culture medium.
摘要:
A preservative efficacy test for determining efficiency of at least one preservative material that is present in a consumable product to reduce or eliminate living microorganisms that includes challenging the preservative material with at least one microorganism derived from a pure culture by inoculating a sample of the product with a quantity of at least one challenge microorganism and allowing the microorganisms to grow for an predetermined interval after which the preservative is neutralized and a portion of the resulting sample is cultured in a testing system that includes at least one testing container, wherein the testing container contains liquid growth media and sensor means capable of monitoring microorganism growth by sensing the metabolic by-products generated by growth of microorganisms present in the liquid growth media and producing an output signal that can be measured and analyzed.
摘要:
A composition for an enzyme-linked assay is described which comprises a chromogenic substrate that produces a detectable color with a maximum absorbance at one wavelength in reactions of the assay which contain the enzyme and a pH indicator dye that produces a detectable color with a maximum absorbance at a second wavelength when the pH of the reactions of the assay is changed to terminate the reactions. The chromogenic substrate enables colorimetric detection of the bindable substance in positive reactions of the assay and the pH indicator dye enables negative reactions of the assay to be colorimetrically distinguished from false negative 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and the pH indicator dye is preferably selected from the group consisting of cresol red and m-cresol purple.
