Rapid Concentration and Detection of E. Coli in Liquid Samples

描述(申请人提供)：一种从真正的苹果汁和菠菜洗涤水中将细菌浓缩到小容量的快速方法，该方法易于由先进的检测器进行分析，将能够快速检测少量细菌，并提高消费者安全和减少产品召回。该系统将在几分钟内检测到这些食品和饮料系统中的细菌，而不是几天。 与公共健康相关：一种将真正的苹果汁和菠菜洗涤水中的细菌浓缩到小容量的快速方法，这种方法很容易被先进的检测器分析，这将使快速检测到少量细菌；反过来，将提高消费者的安全性，减少产品召回。InnovaPrep建议通过修改最初为生物防务行业开发的InnovaPrep集中器来开发这样的系统。该系统将在几分钟内检测到这些食品和饮料系统中的细菌，而不是几天。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A rapid method for concentrating bacteria from real apple juice and spinach wash water into a small volume, which is easily analyzed by advanced detectors, will enable rapid detection of small numbers of bacteria and provide for improved consumer safety and reduced product recalls. The system will enable the detection of bacteria in these food and beverage systems in minutes rather than days. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: A rapid method for concentrating bacteria from real apple juice and spinach wash water into a small volume, which is easily analyzed by advanced detectors, will enable rapid detection of small numbers of bacteria; and, in turn will provide for improved consumer safety and reduced product recalls. InnovaPrep proposes development of such a system by modifying the InnovaPrep concentrator that was originally developed for the Biodefense industry. The system will enable the detection of bacteria in these food and beverage systems in minutes rather than days.
