The membrane filtration (MF) method can be used to reliably test large numbers of water sample, and is US EPA approved for measuring coliforms.
The water sample is filtered through the membrane filter using a vacuum to pull the water through the membrane. The membrane filter is then placed onto a nutrient source gel in a petri dish and incubated for 24 h at 37 °C. The Coliform and non-Coliform colonies can then be counted. Often pH indicators are used to distinguish between different colony types.
There’s a place for both techniques when carrying out quantification of microbiological water quality. Membrane filtration is particularly focused on the quantification of samples with less than 200 CFU/100mL. The Most Probable Number approach enables higher limits of detection to be reached and is generally simpler to execute. For example the MPNplate™ has a working range from 0 – 1600 MPN/100mL and the unique roller sealing approach enables use in the field without requiring laboratory hardware.
