ABSTRACT:
A method of detecting the presence and quantity of bacterial spores, which includes adding an electrophilic alcohol and an acid anhydride to a sample, admixing the sample with a solvent, and analyzing the sample. The sample may be analyzed by injecting the mixture into a gas chromatograph equipped with a mass spectra detector.
