Estimation of Bacterial Count by Electrochemical Method with Small Potentiostat

In plant factory, creation of additional values for products is very important. Cleanliness is one of the most important additional values to appeal to consumers. In particular, rapid measuring of bacteria is a significant method that keeps cleanliness of all products. Electrochemical measuring is useful to measure the number of bacteria rapidly and to estimate the number of E.coli with small potentiostat and Hoechst33258. In this study, we created a calibration curve and used it for the measuring of bacterial count on the surface of Lactuca sattiva. In our measurement, estimated count and actual count showed a similar value. Our study is clarified the possibility of electrochemical quantification of bacteria with small potentiostat.
