CA 2557202

The invention relates to a method of measuring the viscosity of a medium (4) for the culture of micro-organisms (5). The inventive method is characterised in that it comprises the following successive steps consisting in: a) submerging at least one particle which is electrically charged, magnetic or magnetisable or covered with at least one magnetic or magnetisable layer (3) in the culture (4); b) subjecting the culture (4) to an electric, magnetic or electromagnetic field such as to move the particle (3); and c) detecting the degree of freedom of the particle (3) in the culture. The invention is intended, in particular, for a method and device for detecting the formation and development of biofilms in a culture of micro-organisms.

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé permettant de mesurer la viscosité d~un milieu de culture (4) de microorganismes (5), caractérisé en ce qu~il comporte les étapes consistant successivement à : a) immerger au moins une particule chargée électriquement ou magnétique, magnétisable ou revêtue d~au moins une couche magnétique ou magnétisable (3) dans la culture (4), b) soumettre la culture (4) à un champ électrique ou magnétique ou électromagnétique de façon à mettre ladite particule (3) en mouvement, c) détecter le degré de liberté de mouvement de la particule (3) dans la culture. La présente invention s~applique plus particulièrement à un procédé et dispositif pour détecter la formation et le développement de biofilms dans une culture de microorganismes.
