Publisher's Synopsis
This book considers membrane filter theory and practice, and related items such as resuscitation, adsorption effects and replication are described. Membrane filters both permit the streamlining of traditional techniques and facilitate newer, more powerful techniques based on immunology and gene probes. The book also deals extensively with hydrophobic grid-membrane filter (HGMF) which, as the ultimate form of membrane filter, has the most far-reaching applications, including automated counting and screening.
