Abstract: A first method comprises using an imaging device to produce a plurality of images of a culture device, analyzing a first image to identify a microorganism colony at a first location, analyzing a second image to identify a gas bubble at a second location, and determining whether the first location is proximate the second location. A second method comprises analyzing an image of a culture device to detect gas bubbles and classifying the gas bubbles according to a size parameter associated with each of the gas bubbles. A third method comprises analyzing a first area of an image of a culture device to detect a first number of gas bubbles, analyzing a second area of the image to detect a second number of gas bubbles, and comparing the first number of gas bubbles to the second number of gas bubbles.

Abstract: A biological sterilization indicator device is provided. The device comprises a body, a plurality of test microorganisms, and an oxygen-modulated first fluorescent sensor. The body comprises a first layer attached to a second layer, forming at least one isolatable microchamber and at least one primary passageway that provides fluidic communication between ambience and the at least one microchamber. The microchamber has an isolated volume of about 0.5 microliters to about 9.5 microliters. The plurality of test microorganisms and the oxygen-modulated first fluorescent sensor are disposed in the microchamber. A method of using the device to determine the effectiveness of a sterilization process is also provided.

Abstract: An article (100) for securing an object to a surface is provided. The article comprises a conformable backing (30) having top and bottom major surfaces and a perimeter edge, an adhesive (36) coated on at least a portion of the bottom major surface of the backing, and a self-supporting carrier (50) releasably adhered to the top major surface of the backing, the carrier having spaced-apart first and second sections (50), each section having a central edge. The central edges define opposing borders of an object-conformable region (37) of the backing. On opposite sides of the object-conformable region, the backing comprises two anchor regions. Also provided is a method of using the article to secure an object to the surface. The method comprises using at least one section of the carrier to conform the backing to at least a portion of the topological shape of the object to be secured to the surface.
