AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for analyzing fluid samples for biological activity, such as determining the presence, concentration, and characteristics of microorganisms, are often slow, labor-intensive, and require significant time and resources, especially when dealing with low concentrations of microorganisms.
A method involving a filter unit with a membrane that allows for fast and accurate analysis of fluid samples. The method includes passing the fluid sample through the filter membrane, adding a medium, and performing optical 3D scanning and image analysis of the membrane to detect and quantify microorganisms, even at low concentrations.
This method enables rapid and accurate detection and quantification of microorganisms in fluid samples, reducing analysis time and increasing sensitivity, especially for low concentrations, while maintaining high accuracy.
