A method for testing for the presence of bacteria in the field includes using a mixer and frother or a reagent to disrupt bacteria cells. A sample is collected from a source suspected to be contaminated by bacteria. A mixer and frother or similar mixer is used to mix the sample, or a reagent is added to the sample, to form an elute by disrupting bacteria cells present in the sample to expose bacteria enzymes. A reagent pad is immersed in the elute and then withdrawn from the elute, or a drop of the elute is deposited on a reagent pad. After a waiting period, the reagent pad is observed to determine if the bacteria is present in or on the source. The source may be a body of water, produce, prepared food, a food preparation area, or food processing equipment. The reagent is generally a lysis reagent.
一种用于现场检测细菌存在的方法包括使用混合器和起泡剂或试剂来破坏细菌细胞。从怀疑被细菌污染的源收集样品。使用混合器和起泡剂或类似的混合器混合样品,或向样品中加入试剂以通过破坏样品中存在的细菌细胞形成洗脱物,以暴露细菌酶。将试剂垫浸入洗脱物中,然后从洗脱物中取出,或者在试剂垫上滴入一滴洗脱物。等待一段时间后,观察试剂垫以确定源中是否存在细菌。源可以是水体、农产品、制备食品、食品制备区域或食品加工设备。试剂通常是裂解试剂。
