Following the sterilization process, the carrier is immersed in the liquid growth medium. Any viable surviving microorganisms grow, generating the preselected enzyme. The enzymes cleave the bound indicator molecule from the substrate, resulting in a measurable property change in a couple of hours. Typical property changes include fluorescence, a color change, a change in pH which triggers a pH indicator color change, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1997Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Steris CorporationInventors: Joseph P.
