This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the features of an ultrafiltration device. Motivation for developing the device included:
standard microbiological sample concentration techniques may
not allow detection of some pathogens at levels of concern for
public health impacts in water, increasing the concentration of
microorganisms in a sample improves detection;
nearly all techniques for the detection of microorganisms in
water require some type of concentration step, most often
filtration; and,
develop one device that can concentrate viruses, bacteria, and
protozoa, including microorganisms for which there are no
existing methods. Performance criteria is provided, along with target volume selection, target sample volume and
typical volume reduction, typical process parameters, lab testing of concept, prototype concentrator device, comparison of recovery efficiency -
automated versus manual systems; and, recovery of organisms from finished
waters using a laboratory based system. Includes tables, figures.
