Technology
Samples are first diluted in a sterile buffer. The ISO-GRID /NEO-GRID filtration unit then is placed onto a manifold connected to a vacuum source, and a sterile filter membrane is placed in the ISO-GRID filtration unit (NEO-GRID already contains a sterile filter membrane). Using the vacuum source, a portion of the diluted sample is filtered through the filter membrane.
The membrane is transferred to an agar plate prepared with a medium formulated to promote/differentiate the growth of the target organism. Following incubation, the plate’s squares containing presumptively positive colonies are counted to yield a most probable number (MPN) result.
