  • Rapid coliform detection system
    Patent number: 6165742
    Abstract: A rapid method for detecting the presence or absence of coliform bacteria in a liquid or liquified dairy sample, for example skimmed milk. A growth medium containing a fluorogenic substrate is combined with the sample and is incubated for a brief period of about 7-9 hours after which a single fluorescence value is measured. Total or thermotolerant coliform bacteria are determined to be present in the sample if the single fluorescent measurement exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 12, 1999
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2000
    Assignee: NYE Colifast, AS
