Abstract

Methods of fabricating a culture container include: (a) forming a parison; (b) introducing flowable (e.g. colorimetric) sensor material into the parison; (c) blow molding the parison into a container body; and (d) curing the sensor material so that it attaches to an inner surface of the container body. The methods can also include adding sterile growth media into the container and sealing the container shut with an elastomeric stopper and crimped seal/cap. The process can be aseptic so that autoclaving the container is not required.
