Overcoming Molecular Sample Processing Limitations: Quantitative PCR

Delineates conditions that have contributed to or permitted passage of Giardia cysts by the rapid-rate filtration process. Evaluates applicability to full-scale operation of the findings of pilot-scale studies...

Determines biological particles that mimic the behavior of pathogenic species such as viruses, bacteria, and protozoan cysts in coagulation and filtration. Also ascertains relationships between removals of test...

Molecular methods appear to be a promising way to rapidly detect pathogens in water. However, researchers need to identify and evaluate sample preparation techniques that are high-throughput and...
