I'm determining bioburden of textile materials by filtering on a membrane the diluent used to extract the microorganisms. As it's textiles I'm working with they naturally lose a lot of lint in the liquid making it easy to clog my membrane. I was thinking of pre-filtering the solution on Whatman Paper 4 but I think 25 um can still retain some fungal spores. Is there any other method or filter paper you recommend?
Hello, if you want to completely remove fungal spores your pre-filtering should be performed by membrane filtration system with 0.22 or 0.45 um nylon or polyester filter.
