Information Management In Automated Processing Of Biological Growth Media

View page
US Patent:
8417013, Apr 9, 2013
Filed:
Feb 27, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/920185
Inventors:
Phillip A. Bolea - Grant MN, US
Michael E. Hughes - Burnsville MN, US
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G01B 9/02
US Classification:
382133, 382274, 356484
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to information management techniques that may be used during automated processing of biological growth media. In one embodiment, a method comprises reading one or more identification elements of a biological growth medium, identifying manufacturing information related to the biological growth medium based on the one or more identification elements of the biological growth medium, identifying sample information related to a sample being tested by the biological growth medium based on the one or more identification elements of the biological growth medium, generating one or more images of the biological growth medium, counting biological agents formed on the biological growth medium based on the one or more images, wherein counting the biological agents comprises generating a count value, and associating the manufacturing information, the sample information and the count value with the one or more identification elements of the biological growth medium.

Spectral Analysis Of Biological Growth Media

View page
US Patent:
8417014, Apr 9, 2013
Filed:
Mar 17, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/921418
Inventors:
Phillip A. Bolea - Grant MN, US
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G01B 9/02
US Classification:
382133, 382274, 356484
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to imaging techniques and image analysis techniques for automated analysis of biological growth media. According to this disclosure, the spectral responses of biological growth media can be used to identify and count biological agents from images of biological growth media. The biological growth media may be illuminated with two or more different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, and images of the biological growth media can be captured under these different illuminations. The spectral reflectance values in one or more first images can be normalized based on the spectral reflectance values in one or more second images, wherein the first images are associated with a different wavelength of illumination than the second images. The normalization may allow for better identification of biological agents that manifest on the biological growth media.

Methods Of Determining The Amount Of Microorganisms Present In A Test Sample

View page
US Patent:
8518664, Aug 27, 2013
Filed:
Dec 17, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/513794
Inventors:
Stephen B. Roscoe - Woodbury MN, US
Phillip A. Bolea - Grant MN, US
Stephanie J. Moeller - Stillwater MN, US
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
C12Q 1/04
US Classification:
435 34
Abstract:
Methods of determining the amount of microorganisms present in a test sample. The methods include a) incubating the test sample with a growth media to form an incubated sample, wherein the growth media includes an enzyme substrate and the enzyme substrate includes an enzymatically hydrolyzable group and a fluorescent group, wherein microorganisms present in the test sample include an enzyme that hydrolyzes the hydrolyzable group from the fluorescent group to form a fluorescently detectable product, wherein the fluorescently detectable product has both an acidic and basic species; b) exciting the fluorescently detectable product with light having a wavelength of Exλiso for a time sufficient for the fluorescently detectable product to emit light, wherein Exλiso is the absorbance isosbestic point of the fluorescently detectable product; c) detecting light emitted at a wavelength of Emλ1; and d) quantifying the light emitted at the wavelength of Emλ1, wherein the quantity of the light emitted at the wavelength Emλ1 is indicative of the amount of microorganisms present in the test sample.
