Berman, D., M. Rohr, AND R. Safferman. CONCENTRATION OF POLIOVIRUS IN WATER BY MOLECULAR FILTRATION. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-80/161 (NTIS PB81124349).

Description:

The efficiency of concentrating poliovirus 1 from distilled water samples was determined by using a recirculating-flow molecular filtration system. The most efficient recoveries were achieved against membranes with a 10,000 nominal molecular weight limit pretreated with flocculated beef extract. This procedure yielded a mean virus recovery of 67%.
