Summary

The authors have developed a new technology and prototype for sampling and detecting live bacteria over a short time interval. Conventional tests using the culture method require over 24 hours to get the test results. In comparison, this new technology makes it possible to sample bacteria and count the number in approximately 15 minutes. Testing principle: bacteria turn fluorescent after they reach CFDA and are exposed to excitation light. The number of bacteria is then counted by image processing. Testing example: result from tests conducted on a few samples from the new testing prototype and the culture method. Application fields: inspection of re-used water, milk.
