The basic design is a block of agarose containing the bacteria, surrounded by a thin film, encased in a solid plastic shell to make it more user friendly. Thus the cartridge would be cheap to make and simple to use as it would allow easy replacement once the reporting bacteria culture became unusable.<br><br> |
