| 20100238035 | DETECTION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING ANALYTE - There is provided a detection device that comprises a light source, a light sensor and an at least partially light-transmitting element that supports growth of at least one analyte selected from among fungi and bacteria. The light source, the at least partially light-transmitting element and the light sensor are positioned relative to one another and oriented relative to one another such that when the light source is illuminated, at least some of the light emitted from the light source passes through the at least partially light-transmitting element and is received by the light sensor. There is also provided a method of detecting an analyte, comprising illuminating a light source to emit light, and detecting an intensity of light that passes through an at least partially light-transmitting device that comprises an at least partially light-transmitting element that supports growth of at least one analyte selected from among fungi and bacteria. | 09-23-2010 |
