Verification plates for a bacterial endotoxin reader are provided, namely a temperature verification plate (TVP) and optical verification plate (OVP). The TVP has a body configured to be placed on a spindle of said reader and rotated by said spindle. The body has a temperature verification circuit with a temperature sensor and a temperature indicator. The temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the body rotated by the spindle of the reader. The temperature indicator optically represents a value of the temperature measured by the temperature sensor. The temperature indicator is readable by an optical bench of the reader. The OVP has a body with a plurality of apertures located along a periphery that line up with an optical bench of the reader. Light produced by a light source of the reader can pass through the aperture and an intensity measured by a photodetector of the reader.

Bacterial endotoxin reader verification plates and methods of use

Exemplified methods and systems facilitate presentation of data derived from measurements of endotoxins in fluid samples. In particular, the exemplified methods and systems facilitate presentation of such measurements in a graphical user interface and/or in a report for endotoxin concentrations in a fluid sample. The presentation facilitates a unified and intuitive graphic visualization that are presented within a single interactive interface and/or report.

Method and system for visualization of endotoxins in a fluid sample

A conductivity meter for measuring the conductivity of a fluid is provided. The conductivity meter has a cell circuit and a control unit circuit. The cell circuit has a square wave drive amp, a cell, and a trans-impedance amplifier. The fluid flows through the cell. The control unit circuit and the square wave drive amp are configured to apply a square wave pulse train having a voltage to the fluid of the cell, thereby inducing a flow of current through the fluid in the cell. The cell circuit trans-impedance amplifier and the control unit circuit are configured to obtain a plurality of measurements of current flowing through the fluid in the cell and estimate a raw conductivity of the fluid in the cell using the current flow measurements. A method for measuring the conductivity of a fluid is also provided.
