Schematic representation of the Soleris® system. In Step 1, an aliquot (10 g) of the herbal extract powder is weighed in a sterile container and re-suspended in 90 ml of sterile peptone water. The solution was mixed by vigorous vortexing for 2 min and further dilutions up to 10–3 were prepared by adding 1 ml of the diluted solution to 9 ml of sterile peptone and 1 ml of the dilutions were placed in the Soleris® vials in a laminar biosafety hood under sterile conditions (Step 2). In Step 3, the inoculated vials are placed in the selected drawer location in Soleris® instrument and the vials incubated at an appropriate temperature based on type of assay chosen (TVC, yeast and molds or coliforms). As organisms grow in the broth medium, the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced diffuses through a membrane layer into a soft agar plug containing a dye indicator and the change in the color of the dye is read by the Soleris® instrument (Step 4). A detection curve is generated in real time (Step 5) and the Soleris® software indicates a positive test result in less than 24 h for a sample with microbial contamination and samples producing no detection curve within 24 h are considered negative at the test threshold selected.
