Water flow rates were determined at the time of sample collection by recording the time required to fill containers of pre-determined volume. Water samples were immediately placed on ice in a cooler. Upon return to lab, all samples were maintained at 4 °C until filtration, which was carried out within 12 hours of sample collection.Web

Membrane filtration: A typical MF method for water analysis is performed by passing a known volume of water through a sterile membrane filter with a pore size small enough to retain bacterial cells (typically 0.45µm). The filter is then transferred aseptically to the surface of an agar plate, or an absorbent pad saturated with a suitable ...Web
