AI Technical Summary
Conventional bacteria inspection apparatuses using CMOS oscillator sensors face challenges in reliably detecting bacteria outside the sensor's detection range due to depth limitations in bacterial suspensions, and the contact of containment members with sensors can cause pressure issues affecting detection values.
A bacterial testing apparatus with containers, sensors, and covers where the cover has a higher specific gravity than the culture medium, supporting the cover in a non-contact state with the sensor, and forming a sealed space to contain bacteria within the detection range, preventing pressure on the sensor and allowing accurate detection.
Enables accurate and stable detection of bacterial states by maintaining bacteria within the sensor's detection area, reducing pressure on the sensor, and minimizing convection, thereby improving measurement reproducibility and throughput.
