Abstract
Quick and accurate detection of microbial contamination is accomplished by a unique combination of leading edge technologies described in this and the accompanying article. Microbe capture chips, used with a prototype fluorescence detector, are capable of statistically sampling the environment for pathogens (including spores), identifying the specific pathogens/exotoxins, and determining cell viability where appropriate.
