Concentration of enteroviruses from large volumes of tap water, treated sewage, and seawater.
Methods are described for the efficient concentration of an enterovirus from large volumes of tap water, sewage, and seawater. Virus in acidified water (pH 3.5) in the presence of aluminum chloride was adsorbed to a 10-inch (ca. 25.4 cm) fiberglass depth cartridge and a 10-inch pleated epoxy-fiberglass filter in a series at flow rates of up to 37.8 liters (10 gallons) per min. Adsorbed viruses ...
متن کاملComparative study of four microporous filters for concentrating viruses from drinking water.
Four microporous virus-absorbent filter media for recovering low levels of virus from 380 liters of drinking water were compared. In addition two of the filter media were compared with 1,900 liters of drinking water. The filter media evaluated were MF nitrocellulose membranes (293 mm), AA Cox M-780 epoxy-fiberglass-asbestos disks (267 mm), K-27 yarn-wound fiberglass cartridges + AA Cox M-780 di...
متن کاملNew electropositive filter for concentrating enteroviruses and noroviruses from large volumes of water.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's information collection rule requires the use of 1MDS electropositive filters for concentrating enteric viruses from water, but unfortunately, these filters are not cost-effective for routine viral monitoring. In this study, an inexpensive electropositive cartridge filter, the NanoCeram filter, was evaluated for its ability to concentrate enteroviruses ...
متن کاملDetection of noroviruses in tap water in Japan by means of a new method for concentrating enteric viruses in large volumes of freshwater.
A virus concentration method using a cation-coated filter was developed for large-volume freshwater applications. Poliovirus type 1 (LSc 2ab Sabin strain) inoculated into 40 ml of MilliQ (ultrapure) water was adsorbed effectively to a negatively charged filter (Millipore HA, 0.45- micro m pore size) coated with aluminum ions, 99% (range, 81 to 114%) of which were recovered by elution with 1.0 m...
