Abstract:
Spectrum-10, a newly developed miniaturized identification system, was analyzed for its ability to accurately and rapidly identify members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. This study, conducted at two separate laboratories, tested freshly isolated organisms from raw and frozen foods (180) and stock cultures (144). For comparison purposes, the Micro-ID and API-20E identification systems were concurrently inoculated with the test organisms. In comparison to the Micro-ID and the API-20E systems, the Spectrum-10 identified 95 to 96% of the stock cultures to genus and species, whereas 93% of the fresh isolates were identified to genus and 82% to species.

Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0%...
