MICROBIAL CELL VIABILITY ASSAY FOR DETECTION OF OR DETERMINING SLURRY CONTAMINATION

摘要

A method is described for detecting or determining an amount of microbial contamination in an aqueous preparation. Also described, is a use of a luciferin/luciferase reagent containing at least one lytic agent for detecting or determining an amount of microbial contamination in an aqueous preparation including at least one particulate material. In addition, a use of such a method is described for detecting or determining an amount of microbial contamination in an aqueous preparation.
