Abstract: A method and instrument for detecting the presence or absence of a target organism in a test sample is provided. The instrument includes a carousel, a light source, alight detector, and a control system. The carousel is configured to hold a plurality of test sample containers, with each container held by the carousel at a container position. Each of the containers holds an admixture of a test mixture inoculated with the test sample. The light detector is operable to detect light emitted by the light source that has passed through the test sample disposed within the test container. The control system includes a processor. The control system is adapted to produce information indicative of the presence or absence of the target organism in the test sample using signals produced by the light detector.
