ABSTRACT:
This invention describes a method for the rapid identification of the presence of microorganisms in a sample. Briefly, in the method of this invention the sample container is divided into a plurality of discrete zones, each of which can be separately monitored for microbial presence. When a sample is placed into this container, detection is simplified as the volume monitored is low (as compared with the sample); since microbial detection is a concentration dependent phenomenon, the speed with which the presence of microbial contamination can be detected is increased.
