Abstract: Described herein is a baby bottle formula mixing and feeding assembly designed to be coupled to a standard baby feeding bottle or powder mixing bottle. The formula mixing assembly is designed to include at least four main components: a bottom housing, a cylindrical gate body, a top housing and a cylindrical pliable cup body disposed within the top/bottom housing. A locking mechanism is included that unlocks the top housing and the gate body containing the pliable cup body and the formula, such that the apertures in the gate body align with the apertures in the bottom housing to when the top housing is rotated so as to empty the formula contents into the bottle with the liquid. e both the bottom housing and the gate body.

Abstract: The present invention concerns methods for detecting the presence of a micro-organism in a fluid, gaseous and solid samples, together with apparatus for use in same. The invention comprises the use of a plurality of hollow fibers to filter the fluid and the capture of the micro-organisms on the membrane by means of a specific binding pair.

Abstract: Improved methods and devices for detecting microorganisms, such as yeast and bacteria in mixtures, are disclosed. Methods include passing a sample mixture thorough a filter device, which has been pretreated with detergent resuspending the filtrand from the filter membranes and detecting the presence of microorganisms in the filtrand.
