FILTER BENEFITS

  • absolute retention rate
  • the filter maintains the viability of the collected microorganisms for a relevant and meaningful sampling time
  • gelatin filters are completely soluble in water, so microbes in one sample can be grown in/on different nutrient media - the sample is not affected by inhibitors
  • the solubility of the gelatin filter is a prerequisite for virus sampling
