  • Detection device, system and method making it possible to detect the presence of a micro-organism in a sample or inside a container
    Patent number: 9738864
    Abstract: A device (10) for detecting the presence of at least one microorganism in the contents (101, 201) of a container (100, 200) comprising a wall with a translucent zone, said detection device (10) comprising: a) at least one light source (11), such as a light-emitting diode (LED), capable of illuminating the contents of the container (100, 200) by emitting an excitation light beam through the translucent zone of the container (100, 200); b) at least one detection means (12, 13, 14, 15), such as a photodiode, for detecting at least one reaction light beam emitted in response to the illumination of the contents (101, 201) of the container (100, 200); said at least one light source (11) and said at least one detection means (12, 13, 14, 15) being equipped with at least one connection means (105, 205), to connect said at least one light source (11) and said at least one detection means (12, 13, 14, 15) to the wall of the container (100, 200), in the translucent zone, said at least one detection means (12, 13, 14
