![Page 14: Sampling microorganisms in water Gwy-Am Shin Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bf9e1a28abf838c94346/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Concentration methods (viruses)
• Small volume– Adsorption to minerals (e.g. aluminum
hydroxide, ferric hydroxide)– Hydroextration (dialysis with Polyethylene
Glycol (PEG)) – Ultrafiltration (hollow fiber filters)
• Large volume– Filtration (adsorption filters)
![Page 15: Sampling microorganisms in water Gwy-Am Shin Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bf9e1a28abf838c94346/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Filters for sampling viruses (I)
• Adsorbent filters– pore size of filters (0.2 -0.45 µm) larger than viruses– viruses retained by adsorption– electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions
• Positively charged and negatively charged filters
![Page 16: Sampling microorganisms in water Gwy-Am Shin Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bf9e1a28abf838c94346/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Filters for sampling viruses (II)• Positively charged
– 1MDS Virozorb– cellulose/fiberglass– not so efficient with
seawater or water with pH >8
• Negatively charged – Millipore HA– cellulose ester/fiberglass– Need pH adjustment
and addition of cations

Reconcentration and Purification (Protozoa)
• Floatation/Sedimentation• IMS (Immunomagnetic separation)
![Page 32: Sampling microorganisms in water Gwy-Am Shin Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bf9e1a28abf838c94346/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Flotation/sedimentation• Flotation centrifugation
– Layer or suspend samples or microbes in medium of density greater than microbe density; centrifuge; microbes float to surface; recover them from top layer
• Isopycnic or buoyant density gradient centrifugation– Layer or suspend samples or microbes
in a medium with varying density with depth but having a density = to the microbe at one depth.
– Microbes migrate to the depth having their density (isopycnic)
– Recover them from this specific layerFlotation: microbe density < medium density
Isopycnic density gradient: microbe density = medium density at one depth

Conclusions
• Sampling methods are lagging behind detection methods
• Difficulties with a single platform for any one media because of wide range of organisms and environmental conditions
• Speed isn’t everything• Negative results don’t necessarily mean target
not there• There is a need to focus on the reliability and
sensitivity of concentration methods
