Hello. Thanks for the video. It was nicely explained. I would like to ask that how will we determine the water quality using this filter membrane method and what are some disadvantages of using this method.

[@MicroChemsExperiments]

If pathogenic bacteria is found, means that the water is bad in quality. Only disadvantage is that it is applicable for water sample with low bacterial count

For dilution: mix 1 sample with 99ml sterile distilled water. Calculation: Number of colony × 100

Good introduction. Can we put the filter paper into the liquid media in the flask after filtration instead of the Petri plates for growing the bacteria?

[@MicroChemsExperiments]

Yes. You can.

[@ewelina3817]

Hey, could you tell me why you "don't invert plates during incubation". If you have some references to this method I would be appreciate if you could share. Thank you.

[@imonroy1928]

Hi, I feel if we incubate it in an inverted position, the filter paper may fall off from the media side of the plate.

[@MicroChemsExperiments]

You shouldn't invert the plate because filter paper is on the surface of the media. Reference: Iso 9308-1:2017

[@abdelrhmanali4215]

⁠​⁠@@MicroChemsExperiments thanks for the useful info, but as in ISO 9308-1/2014: after filteration, place the membrane filter on the agar. ensuring that no air is trapped underneath, invert petridish and incubate at 36 *c for 24h!

Nice video ! Please can this technique be used for testing of Ecoli,Coliform,salmonella,pseudomonas and staphylococcus organisms present in sanitary pad. And if yes will it involve just diluting the sample in water ?

[@MicroChemsExperiments]

Yes. This method can be applied after diluting your sample in sterile distilled water if the expected microbial count is low. But if the expected microbial count in your sample is high, then you have to follow different method as I have already uploaded for enumeration of E.coli, coliform & salmonella from different sample. Please find those tests from my channel.

[@kinetomagnetic]

Thanks, one question: if the filter paper is not inverted while placing on agar, how the filtered microbes present at the top side of filter come in contact with the media?

[@MicroChemsExperiments]

Microorganisms absorb nutrients from the media through the semi permeable filter paper

@@MicroChemsExperiments Thanks!

[@mirnahazem3702]

is it true to sterilize the filtration units in oven?

[@namitaarya3517]

In this viedo you have told that incubate the petri plate without inverting it ,but in ISO 9308-1 it there to invert the petri plate. Which is correct please make it sure.

[@MicroChemsExperiments]

Filter paper is on the the culture media of the petri plate. So the plate should not invert

[@alicemori7327]

Hi, i have a question? How do i sterilise the agar medium since it can't be autoclaved?

No need to sterilize it. Just dissolve the media as per the instruction mentioned in the label or catalog of the media

Sterilisation for 3 times is best but you can sterilise only once for 3 volumes of sample as you are taking same sample.
