Abstract
Deficiencies in the tentative standard method (TSM) for concentrating viruses from water (explored by the authors in the May Journal) can be overcome or circumvented by certain procedural modifications. These modified procedures can improve virus adsorption by polyvalent cation enhancement or the use of alternative adsorbent filters, and can also enhance elution of adsorbed viruses.
