Question
I heard about an instrument called a germometer on CNN. I believe it was/is used to detect and determine the concentration of microbes(ie.bacteria) in the home. Please tell me about the 'germometer'. thanks, john
I had never heard of this product John so I did a litle research. The germometer refers to a temperature guide telling you at what temperatures bacteria thrive. I could find no reference to a device that can determing bacteria concentration. Such a device is not even feasible. One source stated that a company claiming it has one actually does not.
Go to google and do a search for a germometer.
