I need to perform antibacterial test for thr membranes, and would like to eliminate all existing bacteria on memebrane surface for the control, do you think UV hood will be suffecient?
It depends on the membrane type and architecture. Please use proper sterilization techniques. Wet sterilization, dry sterilization, and gamma radiation were found to be effective for membrane.
You can also use chemical sterilizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide (25%) or Ozone.
