1、Designation: D 4200 82 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Test Method forEvaluating Inhibitory Effects of Ink Grids on MembraneFilters1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4200; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revisio

2、n, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes a procedure whereby the userof ink-gridded membrane filters in water qualit

3、y studies canascertain whether or not the grid lines are toxic and inhibitoryto bacterial growth when the membrane and its entrappedbacteria are incubated on a suitable media.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibi

4、lity of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

5、itionsFor definitions of terms used in this testmethod, refer to Terminology D 1129.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A heavy bacterial suspension is filtered through agridded membrane filter. The bacterial concentration employedis sufficient to cover much of the membrane with bacterialcolonies.4.2 After

6、 filtration the membrane is incubated on a suitablemedium and the distribution of the colonies and shape of thecolonies noted in the area around each grid line.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be applied to determine thesuitability of grid-marked membrane filters for use in bacte-riol

7、ogical culture techniques for the detection and enumerationof bacterial organisms.5.2 A particularly sensitive organism and growth conditionshave been selected for this test method in order to maximizesensitivity to toxic materials possibly present in the inks usedfor grid-marking membrane filters.6

Procedure8.1 Assemble the sterile

15、 membrane filtration apparatus, andconnect to vacuum trap and vacuum source.8.2 Process five randomly selected membrane filters, using1-mL aliquots of culture suspension from 7.5, and 30 mL of0.1 % peptone water added to the filter funnel with standardmembrane filtration procedures. Place the membra

17、s is not necessarily an indication of toxicity, but could be anindication of either compression of the membrane or pluggingof the pores, thus inhibiting nutrient feed to the colonies (seeNote 1).8.5 In this test method, toxicity is defined as the lack ofgrowth in the area immediately adjacent to the

18、 grid lines, andif this effect is noted, repeat the test and if still present, rejectthe membrane filters.9.
