行うことも困難であった。(Prior art) In order to detect microorganisms in drinks and drinking water, the conventional method was to culture them on an agar medium, grow the microorganisms for 48 to 72 hours, and then count the colonies. However, this required a long time and results could not be obtained quickly. Furthermore, culture and testing require sterile facilities and specialized techniques, making it difficult to perform simple measurements.

濾過膜を有する検出器を使用するならば微生物の検出を
一層効率的に行うことができる。In response, attempts have been made to detect microorganisms by focusing on adenosine 5'-triphosphate (hereinafter referred to as rATPJ) in microorganisms and measuring the amount of ATP; It was difficult to measure this unless a large amount of microorganisms were present in the solution. A method has also been proposed in which the microorganisms are collected by filtration, the membrane is temporarily removed, and the membrane is placed in another container to measure the amount of luminescence of ATP extracted from the microbial cells (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 163098/1999). However, microorganisms can be detected more efficiently if a detector is used that has a filtration membrane that can be used for measurement while bacteria are collected on the membrane.
