摘要

The device comprises a transport device, through which reusable packages are transported along a predetermined transport path, and a test unit for detecting microorganisms and/or their metabolites. The test unit comprises a detector and/or a mass spectrometer. Independent claims are included for: (1) a method for detecting microorganisms and/or their metabolites in reusable packages; and (2) a method for segregating reusable packages.
