Profile recognition apparatus for identifying bacteria

摘要

A suspension of an unknown micro-organism is introduced into a plurality of reaction chambers, each containing a different specific biochemical reagent. The presence or absence of each reaction is subsequently transformed to a multi-digit numerical profile, which serves to identify the micro-organism by means of a numerical Profile Register. Apparatus is also provided to facilitate the transformation of the test result data to the numerical profile while simultaneously providing a verification of the transformation.
