Sterilization performance comparison between an autosampler-ready microporous filter vial and a syringe-based filter

摘要

Herein we report that the Thomson Standard and eXtreme/FV (R) filter vials (0.2 mu m polyvinylidene difluoride filter membrane) are as effective as gold standard microporous membrane-based syringe filters at removing bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumonia, from media samples produced in the microbiological laboratory.
