摘要:
The present invention relates to a device and method of detecting microorganisms in a rapid manner and increasing the number of microorganisms detected during the culturing of a sample by the addition of resinous and non-resin adsorbents and molecular sieves in the growth media. These agents have been found to neutralize or remove inhibitory and antimicrobial substances found in samples and media.
摘要:
An instrument and a sealable, sterilizable vessel for detecting the presence of microorganisms in a specimen, the vessel containing a liquid culture medium and a sensor means with an indicator medium therein. Changes in the indicator medium resulting from pH change or change in CO.sub.2 concentration in the medium are detected from outside the vessel.

An instrument and a sealable vessel for detecting the presence of microorganisms in a specimen, the vessel containing a liquid culture medium communicating with a sensor means containing an indicator medium therein. Changes in the indicator medium resulting from pH change or change in CO.sub.2 concentration in the medium are detected from outside the vessel.

摘要:
A method for measuring the concentration of a reagent in a reaction mixture including the steps of: adding dye to a reagent until the dye is at a given concentration in the reagent; mixing the reagent with a reaction mixture comprising a sample which reacts with the reagent to form a reaction product; measuring the formation of reaction product at a first spectral region; measuring the concentration of dye in the reaction mixture at a second spectral region in which the dye has an optical characteristic such as absorption or fluorescence, the second spectral region being different from the first spectral region; and determining the concentration of the reagent in the reaction mixture based on the concentration of dye measured.In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a reagent containing a dye useful in the above method.
摘要:
Transferase and protease activity in homogenates and biological solutions is fluorometrically determined at wavelengths corresponding generally to those used for fluorometric NADH-linked determinations by utilizing novel substrate compositions consisting essentially of certain fluorogenic 5-aminoisophthalic acid derivatives coupled to amino acid constituents specific to the transferases and proteases under investigation.
