Abstract: An analyzer having an inner chassis surrounded by a housing includes sample and dilution probes, a mixing housing including first and second mixing chambers, a flow cytometer including a flow cell, and sample and sheath pumps configured to perform first and second pluralities of tasks, respectively. The first plurality of tasks includes: aspirating sample into the sample probe, dispensing sample from the sample probe into the first and second mixing chambers, delivering first sample-dilution fluid mixture to the flow cell, and delivering second sample-dilution fluid mixture to the flow cell. The second plurality of tasks includes: dispensing sheath to the flow cell in cooperation with the delivery of the first sample-dilution fluid mixture to the flow cell, and dispensing sheath to the flow cell in cooperation with the delivery of the second sample-dilution fluid mixture to the flow cell.

Abstract: A testing apparatus for the detection of Legionella bacteria in a liquid sample includes a sample tray and a lid member. The sample tray defines a planar surface and a plurality of wells recessed relative to the planar surface and is formed from a permeable, transparent material that is non-toxic to Legionella bacteria. The lid member includes an adhesive layer configured to be sealed to the planar surface of the sample tray and formed from a first permeable material, a breathable film layer disposed directly about the adhesive layer and formed from a second, different permeable material, and a backing layer disposed directly about the breathable film layer.
