Method for the detection and enumeration of viable microorganisms. A liquid that comprises one or more markers incorporated in a liquid sol-gel precursor, is provided. A transparent slide is coated with a thin uniform layer of the liquid sol-gel precursor composition. The microorganisms are separated from liquid sample to be analyzed by passing the sample through a filter, and then bringing the filter into close contact with the sol-gel coated slide. The filter is co-incubated with the sol-gel coated slide for a period of time and at a temperature suitable to promote uptake of the markers by the microorganisms. The gel-coated slide irradiated with an external energy source, so as to generate detectable signals emitted from the markers uptaken by the microorganisms. Image of the detectable signals emitted from the microorganisms are acquired, and analyzed using a computer system, in order to provide the identification and enumeration of the microorganisms.
可存活微生物的检测和计数方法。提供一种液体,其中包含一种或多种掺入液体溶胶-凝胶前体的标记物。在透明载玻片上涂上一层均匀的液态溶胶-凝胶前驱体薄层。将样品通过过滤器,然后使过滤器与涂有溶胶凝胶的载玻片紧密接触,从而将微生物从待分析的液体样品中分离出来。将过滤器与涂有溶胶凝胶的载玻片在适当的温度下共同培养一段时间,以促进微生物对标记物的吸收。用外部能源照射涂有凝胶的载玻片,以产生微生物吸收标记物后发出的可检测信号。获取微生物发出的可检测信号的图像,并使用计算机系统进行分析,以便对微生物进行识别和计数。
