<p>A device and method allow for detecting the presence of microorganisms in clinical and non-clinical specimens. The device, a sensor (1), provides an environment to culture microbial organism colonies from a fluid sample, and a means to facilitate microbial detection and quantification, either manually or with an instrument. The sensor (1) has a microorganism immobilization matrix layer (10) and a sensor layer (12). Detected microbial colonies are immediately available for further testing. The sensor provides an area (2) for accepting a fluid sample, a mechanism to immobilize the fluid sample on an interior surface of the plate, nutrients to facilitate growth of microorganisms in the sample, and a sensor for allowing the detection and/or enumeration of microorganism colonies within the sample.</p> |
