  • MULTI-WELL SAMPLE TESTING APPARATUS AND METHODS OF SAMPLE TESTING USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20240182944
    Abstract: A testing apparatus for the detection of Legionella bacteria in a liquid sample includes a sample tray and a lid member. The sample tray defines a planar surface and a plurality of wells recessed relative to the planar surface and is formed from a permeable, transparent material that is non-toxic to Legionella bacteria. The lid member includes an adhesive layer configured to be sealed to the planar surface of the sample tray and formed from a first permeable material, a breathable film layer disposed directly about the adhesive layer and formed from a second, different permeable material, and a backing layer disposed directly about the breathable film layer.

  • Porous media compositions and methods for producing the same
    Patent number: 10471411
    Abstract: The present invention relates to porous substrate compositions and methods for producing such compositions. In one embodiment, the porous substrate composition of the present invention comprises sintered spherical particles of a substantially uniform size. The porous media compositions of the present invention comprise relatively randomly-ordered particles with a void fraction significantly higher than compositions with a more ordered, close-packed configuration. The present invention further relates to composite porous media compositions comprising two or more relatively discrete layers of sintered particles.
