Sterile Filtration Method in Oceanographic and Environmental Research

WEBINAR

Sterile filtration is an essential process in environmental research, particularly when collecting and analyzing water samples from oceans, rivers, and lakes. The ability to isolate microorganisms, plankton, and particles from these water sources is crucial for studying marine biodiversity, understanding ecological dynamics, and assessing impact on marine life. Filtration also aids in the analysis of pollutants, contaminants, and microplastics, supporting environmental monitoring and testing. This presentation covers sterile filtration devices, applications, and the implementation of an innovative capsule-type filter designed to meet the unique demands of oceanographic and environmental research.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• Critical physical and chemical properties of filters
• How to select a sterile filtration device by application, sample type, and volume
• Challenges when working with complex environmental samples
• Use of Sterivex™ filters for processing large volume samples of high particulate ocean water
