METHOD FOR COLLECTING REPRESENTATIVE MICROBIOLOGICAL WATER SAMPLES

摘要

With a method and equipment according to this invention the best possible growth start of hygiene indicators and other bacteria and other microbes in water samples is ensured in microbe cultivations for example on Colilert™ media using both static cultivations and bubbled cultures such as in a PMEU (Portable Microbe Enrichment Unit) type cultivation. The objective is the best possible microbiological detection value of a water sample or process sample regardless of whether the said cultivation is implemented without bubbling or other mixing or with it. The equipment and method according to the invention applies to and can be connected with automatic or manual sampling.
