DEVICE FOR DETECTING CARBON DIOXIDE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION OF A FLUID

摘要

The invention relates to a device for detecting carbon dioxide, characterized by the combination of the following features: - an admission opening (1) for receiving carbon dioxide into the interior (4) of said device, said opening (1) being impermeable to fluids but permeable to carbon dioxide and - a means for detecting carbon dioxide, which is located inside (4) said device. Said device can be used, in particular, for testing the sterility of fluids, whereby the integrity of the system, which is used therefor, is preserved and a use in connection with commercially available filtering units is possible.
