Filed:

Jun 4, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/861299

Inventors:

Philip T. Feldsine - Mercer Island WA, US
Tim A. Kelly - Bellevue WA, US
Jim Christensen - Portland OR, US
Joseph B. Di Carlo - Long Beach CA, US
Mark Andersen - Pasadena CA, US
Anita Kressner - Bellevue WA, US

Assignee:

Biocontrol Systems, Inc. - Bellevue WA

International Classification:

G01N015/06

US Classification:

250573, 250576

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for evaluating the quality of a sample of a product, an ingredient, an environment or a process by measuring multiple parameters thereof, including light emitted from a reacting sample containing ATP, ADP, alkaline phosphatase or other parameters such as pH, temperature, conductivity, oxidation reduction potential, dissolved gases, specific ions, and microbiological count. The apparatus comprises an integrated sample testing device used to collect a sample, mix reagents, react the sample, and collect it in a measurement chamber. The apparatus also comprises an instrument having a photon detection assembly for use with the sample testing device. The instrument can also comprise one or more sensing probes and a communication port to facilitate data collection, transfer and analysis. The method further comprises a mechanism for storing data, evaluating data, graphing data, and determining conformance to established criteria.
