Assessment of a Membrane Filter Coated with Hygroscopic Glycerol for Improved Recovery of Airborne Viable Bacteriophage MS2

Abstract The viability of viruses collected on membrane filters during air sampling is compromised by desiccation. This leads to an underestimation of the concentration of viable viruses in the air. We investigated whether adding a hygroscopic glycerol coating to membrane filters could enhance the r...
