RAPID SEPARATION AND RECOVERY OF PATHOGENS FROM FOOD SAMPLES BY MICROFILTRATION ASSISTED COUNTERFLOW ELUTRIATION (MACE)

摘要

Methods and devices for rapidly separating pathogen from a test sample, such as a food sample, for efficient detection of pathogen are disclosed. A simultaneous microfiltration and elutriation approach was used to separate pathogen, such as bacterial cells, from a test sample, such a food sample.
