Abstract: An instrument and method for ascertaining a viable aerobic microbe count at to employing a two-point calibration curve of tthreshold to TVC for each type of sample. One point on the calibration curve is the x-intercept value (i.e., an estimated or experimental value for the logarithm of the minimum viable aerobic microbe count at commencement of testing (to) in a sample effective for causing the sample to reach tThreshold substantially instantaneously upon commencement of incubation). The other point is ascertained experimentally from a sample having a smaller known viable aerobic microbe count at to.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a destination point with a gas having a selectable known humidity. A gas having an initial relative humidity is alternately directed in accordance with a duty cycle along a wet path effective for humidifying the gas to provide a wet gas, and a dry path effective for either maintaining the initial relative humidity of the gas or dehumidifying the gas to provide a dry gas. The wet and dry gas is blended to produce a blended gas having a selected relative humidity based upon the selected duty cycle.

Abstract: A humidity control system for an analyte permeation testing instrument. The system includes (i) an analyte permeation testing instrument, (ii) a sensor for sensing a target analyte, (iii) a humidity control chamber, and (iv) a selectively permeable membrane permeable to water vapor and impermeable to the target analyte. The analyte permeation testing instrument defines a testing chamber operable for engaging a test film such that the testing chamber is sealingly separated by the test film into a first cell and a second cell throughout a permeation testing period. The sensor is placed in fluid communication with the first cell. The humidity control chamber is positioned adjacent the first cell and in fluid communication with both a source of gas having a known humidity and the first cell, with the selectively permeable membrane sealingly separating the humidity control chamber from the first cell.
