The device for the microbiological analysis of a support () adapted to contain microorganisms marked by a fluorophore agent comprises illuminating means adapted to illuminate said support () comprising two bases () on each of which is mounted at least one group of light sources (), with said sources () of that group being regularly spaced from each other to form an array for illuminating said support (), said bases () being fixed to a frame of said device, one on each side of an opening () formed in said frame, with said bases () being inclined towards each other in the direction of a predetermined location for reception of said support () in said device.

Device for microbiological analysis

The preparation unit comprises a body () within which are fixed a first () and a second () membrane, said first membrane () having a first predetermined pore diameter and said second membrane () a second predetermined pore diameter smaller than said first predetermined pore diameter of said first membrane (), said body also comprising means () for retrieving said sample collected on said second membrane (). The method of preparing such a sample comprises the step of procuring such a preparation unit (), the step of passing a predetermined volume of said liquid through said first membrane and through said second membrane () in order to collect a sample on said second membrane (); and the step of retrieving said sample so collected on said second membrane ().

Method and unit for preparing a sample for the microbiological analysis of a liquid

The method of microbiological decontamination of a machine comprising an enclosure () for treating a support () and a conveyor comprising a shuttle (), comprises the steps of obtaining a container () adapted to be received on said shuttle () and to diffuse biocidal agent in said enclosure (), of placing said container () on said shuttle (), of moving said shuttle () within said enclosure, and of evacuating said agent. The microbiological analysis system comprises a container (), a microbiological analysis machine comprising at least two stations () for treatment of said support (), a conveyor comprising a shuttle () adapted to receive and to move said support (), said container () being adapted to be received on said shuttle (), as well as means () for evacuating said biocidal agent.

Decontamination method and system implementing it

A method comprising obtaining a preparation unit comprising a filter module and a collection for each liquid coming from the filter module, with the filter module comprising an inlet compartment as well as an evacuation compartment for the liquids, the filter and collection modules being rotatably mounted relative to each other; disposing the filter and collection modules in a first position; passing a liquid from the filter module to attain the collection module; disposing the filter and collection modules relative to each other in a second position, and passing another liquid from the filter module to attain the collection module.

The present invention relates to a method using a composition for permeabilizing microorganism walls for counting and detecting in a targeted manner the microorganisms on a membrane. The invention also relates to a kit and to probes that are suitable for carrying out the method.

Method for detecting microorganisms on a membrane

The unit comprises a filter membrane filter module and a collection module for liquid coming from the filter module, with the filter module comprising an inlet compartment as well as an evacuation compartment for the liquids, the filter and collection modules being rotatably mounted relative to each other. The method comprises the step of obtaining such a unit, of disposing the filter and collection modules in a first position, of passing a liquid from the filter module to attain the collection module, of disposing the filter and collection modules relative to each other in a second position, and the step of passing another liquid from the filter module to attain the collection module.

Unit for preparing a sample for the microbiological analysis of a liquid

The present invention relates to a composition for the permeabilization of the walls of microorganisms comprising the combination of octyl-&#x3b2;-D-glucopyranoside (NOG), sodium polyphosphates (HMP), and a salt chosen from lithium chloride or rubidium chloride, and a method for the enumeration and identification of cells on a membrane using said composition.

Composition and method for cell permeabilization comprising N-octyl-&#x3b2;-D-glucopyranoside, sodium polyphosphates, rubidium chloride and/or lithium chloride for detecting living cells on a membrane

The method of microbiological decontamination of a machine comprising an enclosure for treating a support and a conveyor comprising a shuttle, comprises the steps of obtaining a container adapted to be received on the shuttle and to diffuse biocidal agent in the enclosure, of placing the container on the shuttle, of moving the shuttle within the enclosure, and of evacuating the agent. The microbiological analysis system comprises a container, a microbiological analysis machine comprising at least two stations for treatment of the support, a conveyor comprising a shuttle adapted to receive and to move the support, the container being adapted to be received on the shuttle, as well as means for evacuating the biocidal agent.
