A Rapid Method for the Quantiative Isolation of Viruses from Polluted Water.

Abstract

A rapid method for the isolation and identification of viruses from water has been developed. This method allows for the demonstration of viruses in the water sample after only 6-9 hours of incubation, whereas, a time interval of 18-24 hours should satisfy most requirements for water distribution. One must take into account, however, the possibility of 'false negatives' or 'false positives' in the high speed determinations, probably due to impurities of the reagent used in the technique.
