<p>A diagnostic microbiological testing apparatus and method includes at least one test tray (11) including a plurality of reaction chambers (12), a light source (22) disposed proximate to the test tray (11) for directing light, at an excitation wavelength of a fluorescence emitting agent contained within the reaction chambers (12), at the test tray (11), a filter for passing therethrough only light generated by a fluorescence emitting reaction resulting from the interaction of the fluorescence emitting agent and a sample, and an imaging mechanism (26) for detecting only the light generated by the fluorescence emitting reaction at the emission wavelength simultaneously from the plurality of reaction chambers (12).</p> |
