Rapid Bacterial Detection SystemFully Automated 4 minute CFU/ml response system SUBC Inc. Rochester MN
Principle and Sequence of Rapid Detection 1. Platelets and cellular debris removed from platelet concentrate sample 2. Present Bacteria are isolated and immobilized in isolation chamber 3. Isolation chamber rinsed with buffer, leaving isolated bacteria 4. Lyse solution in combination with localized heat provide rapid bacterial membrane lyse 5. Bacterial ATP containing lysate is mixed with bioluminescent firefly extract 6. Generated light reaction is detected by photon counter. Burst of light is correlated to CFU/ml

Firefly Luciferace Reaction ATP +D-luciferin + O2 AMP+pyrophosphate+oxyluciferin+CO2 + Light • Thequantum efficiency is very high resulting in almost one photon per ATP molecules consumed in the reaction • Intensity of the emitted light is proportional to the ATP concentration • If the luciferase level is low the intensity will be essentially constant • If the luciferase level is high the light will decay rapidly since ATP is consumed in the reaction (the initial peak light is proportional to the decay rate) • If decay rate t 1/2 = 139 minutes sensitivity range 10-15 - 10-9 • If decay rate t 1/2 = 235 minutes sensitivity range 10-14 - 10-18
