Microorganism detecting kit, microorganism counting apparatus, and microorganism counting process

摘要

A microorganism detecting kit according to the present invention includes a self-adhesive layer 102 containing the following compounds incorporated therein: 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride 2 for staining living and dead cells, propidium iodide 3 for staining dead cells, 6-carboxyfluorescein diacetate 4 for staining living cells and 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-galactoside 5 reacting with a substance derived particular microorganisms, a support 103 and a grip portion 6 . Microorganisms deposited to a specimen are deposited to the self-adhesive layer 102 , and then, the compounds react with the microorganisms and are bonded individually to the microorganisms to color them. The microorganism detecting kit, a microorganism counting apparatus and a microorganism counting process according to the present invention are used to confirm of the presence of living and dead cells, dead cells and living cells by counting the colored cells in an adding manner.
