The basic principles of the utility model defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the utility model.

[0018] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the specification, the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0019] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0020] refer to Figures 1 to 3 According to a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a 10-well culture container for quantitatively testing the concentration of bacteria in water will be described in detail below, wherein the 10-well culture container for quantitatively testing the concentration of bacteria in water includes a composite sheet 10 and a transparent plate 20 pasted on the surface of the composite sheet 10, wherein the composite sheet 10 includes a felt paper layer 11, a glue layer 12 and a sealing layer 13 stacked in sequence, and the sealing layer 13 is close to the transparent plate 20, wherein the transparent plate 20 can be a plastic plate, and the transparent plate 20 is integrally protruded at a predetermined position in a direction away from the composite sheet 10 to form a plurality of incubation chambers 201, and at the same time, a sampling port for adding samples to the incubation chamber 201 is provided at one end between the transparent plate 20 and the composite sheet 10.

[0021] Specifically, the water sample mixture is first poured into the incubation chamber 201 through the sampling port, and then moved into the heat sealer together with the fixture, the transparent plate 20 and the composite sheet 10 are bonded together in the heat sealer, wherein the incubation chamber 201 may include a horizontal incubation chamber 21, a vertical incubation chamber 22 and a surplus incubation chamber 23, and the water sample mixture is evenly distributed in each incubation chamber 201, with a capacity of 10-12 ml, and then the water sample type, culture time, and culture project are marked on the outermost layer of the composite sheet 10 with a marker, and then the culture container is placed in a constant temperature incubator at 36°C for 24 hours, and then taken out after the culture is completed, and the number of incubation chambers that turn yellow are observed under indoor lighting, and then placed under a wavelength of 366nm ultraviolet light for observation, and the number of incubation chambers that appear fluorescent is recorded, and the results are obtained through the MPN table. The experimental results are basically consistent with the results of the traditional ten-tube method. Therefore, the culture container can greatly simplify the operation steps and reduce the manual operation process, while also shortening the experimental time and improving the experimental efficiency.

[0022] In one embodiment, the adhesive layer 12 is a water-based heat-sealing adhesive layer. The water-based heat-sealing adhesive is bonded through two processes: softening and curing of the adhesive layer 12. When heated, the thickener and stabilizer in the adhesive layer 12 will cause the colloidal particles to flow again, so that the adhesive layer 12 and the surface of the bonded material produce physical adsorption and molecular diffusion phenomena, thereby forming a strong bond, making the composite sheet have a better composite effect and a more stable structure.

[0023] In one embodiment, the sealing layer 13 is an aluminum foil sealing layer. Aluminum foil is an electrolytic capacitor material and a soft metal film. It is not only moisture-proof, airtight, light-shielding, abrasion-resistant, and waterproof, but also, because the sample is in a liquid state, it can be sealed with aluminum foil to ensure that the sample will not leak out and be sealed in the incubation chamber. At the same time, it can provide the microorganisms with the required light-proof and heat-insulating culture environment during the culture process.

[0024] In one embodiment, an auxiliary handle 14 is provided on one side of the composite sheet 10, so as to facilitate opening the sample inlet when adding the water sample mixture into the culture container.

[0025] In one embodiment, the horizontal incubation chamber 21, the vertical incubation chamber 22 and the surplus incubation chamber 23 are distributed according to the Poisson distribution law, and the surplus incubation chamber 23 is close to the auxiliary handle 14, and the horizontal incubation chamber 21 and the vertical incubation chamber 22 are far away from the auxiliary handle 14, so that the discrete probability of random appearance of microorganisms in a unit time can be relatively uniform. Since the total amount of water sample added is 100ml, the total capacity inside the container is 120ml, and when adding water sample, it is not necessarily possible to control it very accurately at 100ml, the surplus incubation chamber 23 can absorb the excess water sample mixture, thereby ensuring that the sample will not overflow the container, so that the detection result is not missed.

[0026] In one embodiment, the transverse hatching chamber 21 and the longitudinal hatching chamber 22 are both provided with a support groove 202 at the middle position, so that the hatching chamber 201 is not easily deformed and the space inside the hatching chamber 201 can be made more stable.

[0027] Further preferably, the supporting groove 202 is a trapezoidal groove, and the side close to the composite sheet 10 is the upper bottom, that is, the shorter bottom side.

[0028] Comparative experiment: The ten-tube method in the prior art was used for comparison. Based on the normal distribution principle, the number of samples N>30, 30 groups of valid samples were prepared and divided into two groups. Paired T test was performed on the present invention and the ten-tube method to analyze whether there was a significant statistical difference between the two. The data between the two were equivalent.

[0029] Experimental method: Take the standard strain Escherichia coli with a concentration of 10-50 CFU, strain number ATCC 25922, MMO-MUG culture medium, in accordance with GB / T5750.12-2023 "Standard Test Methods for Microbial Indicators of Drinking Water".

[0030] Take 100 ml of water sample, add enzyme substrate culture medium, and pour into the present invention; culture at 36°C±1°C for 24 hours.

[0031] Take 100 ml of water sample, add enzyme substrate culture medium, add it into 10 test tubes, 10 ml in each tube, and culture at 36℃±1℃ for 24 hours.

[0032] Results: The sample color changes to magenta for the present application technology, and changes to yellow for the conventional ten-tube method technology. Blue fluorescence is produced under a 366nm wavelength ultraviolet lamp, indicating that it is positive for Escherichia coli. Find the MPN table to record the results.

[0033] Comparative data such as Figure 4 ;

[0034] The comparison of the logarithmic pairing variables of the present invention and the ten-tube method in the experiment is shown in the following figure:

[0041] In summary, from the paired sample correlation table, it can be seen that the correlation between the present invention and the ten-tube method is 0.952 (range 0-1.000, the closer the result is to 1.000, the stronger the correlation between the two);

[0042] From the paired sample test table, it can be seen that the significance (two-tailed) of the present invention and the ten-tube method is Sig, and the P value result is P=0.702>0.05, which means that there is no significant difference. It can be determined that the two methods do not have a statistically significant difference, that is, the present invention and the ten-tube method are no different and are equivalent.

[0043] At the same time, the technology of the present application can greatly simplify the operating steps during the experiment, reduce the manual operation process, shorten the experimental time, and improve the experimental efficiency.
