ABSTRACT:
The present invention describes an automated compact high-volume microorganism detection apparatus for detecting microorganisms in a large number of sample containers. The containers are placed in a plurality of vessels that hang vertically on horizontal rods mounted to the circumference of a cylindrical spool that is rotated around a horizontal shaft. During rotation of the spool, the vessels can remain vertically oriented or can be tilted by an arbitrary angle, before they fall back into their original vertical orientation. Depending on the percentage of tilt selected, sample agitation will be absent, soft, or more vigorous.
