Dear Sara, Harmful concentration of phages, varies from one phage to another. You have to check your own concentration of chloroform for your phage. Usually range 1-1.5 % can kill ,but again its depends on phage.
Well then go through the papers and do make a concentration that will solve the problem of both dissolving the polymer and allow the viability of phages.
Your approach seems novel hope to read your paper soon. Best of luck.
