Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9950659A2] A method of identifying one or more micro-organisms in a fluid comprising the steps of: (i) taking a sample of the fluid containing a representative sample of any micro-organism(s) present; (ii) optionally culturing the sample if necessary to increase the number of micro-organisms for a pre-determined range; (iii) measuring the zeta potentials of any micro-organisms present; (iv) optionally normalising the measurements taken in step (iii) such that they relate to standard conditions; (v) comparing said measured zeta potentials with a table of the zeta potentials of known micro-organisms to determine which, if any, of the known micro-organisms are present in the fluid.
