Abstract: An apparatus for processing a biological sample is provided. The apparatus includes a body having a processing chamber, a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a filter, a first one-way valve, a second one-way valve, a first fluid pathway, and a second fluid pathway. The first fluid pathway and the second fluid pathway pass through the filter. A method of processing a sample using the apparatus is also provided. The method includes placing a sample comprising a liquid into the processing chamber; urging at least a portion of the liquid through the filter; after urging the at least a portion of the liquid through the filter, urging a portion of a back-flush liquid through the filter into the process chamber to form a first processed sample; and analyzing at least a portion of the first processed sample to detect an indication of a microorganism.

Abstract: An aqueous composition, for example a composition for use as a lysis buffer, comprising zirconium oxide particles, a surfactant at a concentration greater than or equal to 0.005% (mass/volume), an organic, iron-chelating reagent having a first affinity constant greater than or equal to 104.2 with respect to ferric iron and a second affinity constant less than 103.8 with respect to magnesium (as determined in 20° C. deionized water at pH 8.45), and a buffer. The aqueous composition has a pH no less than 7.7 and less than 8.45, more particularly 7.8-8.3, in all cases when measured at 20° C. Methods of using the composition and kits comprising components of the aqueous compositions.

Abstract: A recycling optical cavity is defined at least by first and second optical films and is configured to receive a test material therein. The test material is configured to emit at least a second light having a second wavelength when irradiated with a first light having a first wavelength. For at least one of s- and p-polarized incident lights incident in an incident plane, and at the first and second wavelengths: at a first incident angle, the first optical film has respective optical transmittances T11(θ1) and T12(θ1), and the second optical film has respective optical transmittances T21(θ1) and T22(θ1), wherein T11(θ1)>T12(θ1), T21(θ1), T22(θ1); and at a second incident angle, the first optical film has respective optical transmittances T11(θ2) and T12(θ2), and the second optical film has respective optical transmittances T21(θ2) and T22(θ2), wherein T21(θ2)>T11(θ2), T12(θ2), T22(θ2).

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an assembly for preparing a sample for analysis. The assembly comprises a hollow body comprising first opening, an outlet with a second opening, and a fluid pathway extending therebetween; a filter element operatively interposed in the fluid pathway; and a closure comprising a third opening and a chamber, the closure being slideably engaged with the outlet. The chamber and the outlet are dimensioned so that the outlet is sealingly engaged with the chamber. A method of using the assembly to detect a microorganism is also provided.
