Title:
DETECTION OF MICROORGANISMS IN LIQUID HYDROCARBON FUEL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002068959
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of analysis of a hydrocarbon fuel for the presence of a micro-organism comprises contacting a fuel sample with an aqueous diluent and with an antibody reactive with the micro-organism, or reactive with a metabolite or breakdown product produced by the micro-organism, to detect the presence or absence of the micro-organism.
