Abstract: An imaging module to obtain an image of an entire bottle in one image frame. The imaging module places the bottle in an auxiliary mirror module (AMM). The module has a quasi-conical shaped mirror which offers a reflection of the bottle placed in the AMM. That reflection is the source of an image obtained by an imaging assembly. The imaging assembly can be a lens/camera assembly or a photo sensor that will detect photo fluorescence.

Abstract: A calibrator bottle and method of calibration. The calibrator bottle includes a plastic material that is doped or compounded with a fluorescent material system that fluoresces in a target range and may be used to calibrate a blood culture instrument that measures sample fluorescence to determine bottle positivity or negativity. Also described herein is a system and method to control the temperature of samples in a blood culture apparatus using a resistance temperature device (RTD) device that measures the temperature of the sample. The sample measurements are correlated with the ambient temperature to determine an ambient temperature that will provide a target bottle content temperature.
