Intended Use
Recommended for liquid media used in membrane filtration.
Directions
The test sample should be filtered through a sterile membrane filter having pore size of 0.22μ / 0.45μ. Rehydrate the nutrient pad with 2.0-2.5 ml of sterile media to be used in membrane filtration. After filtration, remove the membrane filter aseptically using sterile forceps. Place the membrane filter on rehydrated nutrient pad with media. Incubate the inoculated nutrient pad. Interpret the results qualitatively by observing the presence or absence of growth and quantitatively by counting the number of colonies on the surface of the membrane filter and calculating CFU/ml.
Principle And Interpretation
This sterile DriFilter Pad without media is a 50 mm biological inert absorbent pad which can soak the media recommended for membrane filtration. Use of nutrient pads allows larger sample volumes to be tested at a time. Interpretation of results is directly by counting the CFUs and also quantifies the microbial load present in the sample.
