Abstract:
A vacuum ampoule detection system and a method detect and quantify viable bacteria in liquid samples. The vacuum ampoule that includes a supporting medium, a selective reagent, and a detecting reagent are useful in the rapid detection and quantification of viable heterotrophic bacteria in liquid samples. The vacuum ampoule detection system is suitable for the detection of total bacteria,  E. coli,  or total coliform, etc. The vacuum ampoule detection system is also compatible with spectrometer for visible light, UV light and fluorescence which can give more accurate analysis of the concentration of bacteria in the liquid samples.

Claim (Index 1):
A self-filling vacuum ampoule detection system to quantify viable bacteria in a liquid sample, the self-filling vacuum ampoule detection system comprising:\n a vacuum ampoule including:\n a supporting medium, wherein the supporting medium comprises nutrients for culture bacterial species in the liquid sample; \n at least one selective reagent to inhibit a growth of interference microbial species in the liquid sample; and \n a detection reagent to quantify an amount of bacterial species in the liquid sample, \n wherein when the vacuum ampoule is self-filled with the liquid sample, and the viable bacteria is present in the liquid sample and react with the detection reagent, the self-filled vacuum ampoule is configured to change color.
