A recirculating-flow molecular filtration system using specific pretreated membranes achieved a 67% mean recovery of poliovirus 1 from distilled water.
May aid environmental virus monitoring; leaves open validation for clinical diagnostics and cardiovascular applications.
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 members with a 10,000 nominal molecular weight limit pretreated with flocculated beef extract. This procedure yielded a mean virus recovery of 67%.
