Akrema Aki

You can also use millipore syringe filter.

Sai Bhargava

Thank you Mr. Akrema for your suggestion, but I am thinking to use with membranes filters, bcz the work should be cost effective...

Hello Sir,

Thanks for your suggestion sir...

As you said that pore size should not matter in membrane filters... In that point, I am not getting the exact idea on it sir....

Kaisar Raza

You can move ahead with Whatman filter paper 41/40. It is advised to adopt centrifugation process.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion sir..

But, after discussing with my Professor & other scientists, they said that to use Durapore PVDF filter paper...
