A method for testing for presence of a microbe in a sample includes measuring an instantaneous transmission rate of two or more wavelengths through the sample (), providing predetermined transmission rates corresponding to positive or negative samples for the presence of the microbe for each of the two or more wavelengths, and determining a probability of the presence of the microbe based on the instantaneous transmission rate for each of the two or more wavelengths through the sample by comparing the instantaneous transmission rate to the predetermined transmission rates ().

Infrared measurement for the rapid enumeration of microbial concentrations

A method for producing a pelletized material includes mixing a media powder with a treated water, the treated water comprising an additive for substantially preventing bacterial contamination, pouring a mixture of the media powder and the treated water on a non-binding surface, spreading the mixture into a wafer, drying the wafer, and grinding the wafer to produce the pelletized material.

Rapid dissolve media

A method for producing a pelletized material includes mixing a media powder with a treated water, the treated water comprising a additive for substantially preventing bacterial contamination, pouring a mixture of the media powder and halogenated water on a non-binding surface, spreading the mixture into a wafer, drying the mixture, and grinding the mixture to produce the pelletized material.
