Abstract

See full text

Provided are integrated automated systems for quantitative and/or qualitative microbiological assessment and/or analyte assessment of samples using in situ generated culture devices. The systems comprise: an integrated automated system comprising sterile media and/or buffer reagents, culture device parts, and automated components for media and/or buffer handling, test sample handling, culture device assembly, and microbial enumeration and/or detection, all within a sterile environment; and one or more processors; and memory, including computer-executable instructions that, if executed by the one or more processors, cause the integrated automated system to determine that a coded test sample, loaded into the system, is to be quantitatively and/or qualitatively assessed, and accordingly process and microbiologically assess the coded test sample using, for quantitative assessment, one or more specified in situ generated culture devices for quantitative assessment, thereby eliminating the need to sterilize, ship, store, and/or open ex situ fabricated culture devices prior to inoculation thereof.
