SPI Pore™ Black Polycarbonate Track Etch Membrane Filters

A few words about epifluorescence microscopy


Epifluorescence microscopy allows the direct observation and total enumeration of viable and non-viable organisms in less than 30 minutes as compared to traditional culturing methods that may require incubation times of up to 72 hours. Traditional culturing methods also underestimate the total number of microorganisms in a sample due to the selective nature of the media employed, lack of detection of non-viable microorganisms, and failure to count microorganisms that are present as aggregates or associated with particles. The need to count the total population of microorganisms may be important since the presence of large numbers in some samples may be significant, regardless of viability.

The SPI-Pore Black Polycarbonate Track Etch Membrane Filters are known worldwide for their high quality and uniformly black background when viewed this way.
