MICRO.IOLO$ICAL TESTIN$ OF .EVERA$ES1
DRIN%IN$ &ATER
INTROD,CTION
The consumer?s steadily growing requirements for the quality and the longer shelf life of
foods and be2erages must be met by the manufacturer*
7uality assurance can?t be limited to inspection of the final product alone, such as a bottled
be2erage or a prepared food product* Instead, continuous inspection of incoming raw
materials and inFprocess quality control tests must be performed throughout production*
Microbiological and aseptic testing play a significant role in such quality assurance*
In the soft drink industry the microbiological and hygienic quality including the biological
stability of the products are important criteria for their assessment* The reasonB just a few
microbes are often all it takes to spoil large quantities of a be2erage* Although the e3plosi2e
technological de2elopment has reduced the risk of contamination by spoiling microbes, the
issue of shelf life has taken on new dimensions as a result of the enormous production output
possibilities of today* 7uality control of bottling and filling, in terms of chemical and, abo2e
all, biological stability, must be adapted to this de2elopment by stateFofFtheFart test methods*
The requirements for a practical microbiological test method are that it permits quantitati2e
and reproducible detection of trace contamination and that it can be performed efficiently and
economically under routine conditions*

These requirements are fulfilled optimally by the membrane filter method* The principle of
this method is based on the concentration of microorganisms from relati2ely large samples on
the surface of the membrane filter, and on culturing these microbes on a nutrient pad or an
agar culture medium*
T(E MEM.RANE FILTER MET(OD
De8ription
The Membrane "ilter Method A membrane filter of the appropriate pore si4e is placed in a
filter holder, and the sample is filtered* In this process microorganisms in the test sample are
retained
on the filter surface by the screening action of the membrane filter*
'rowth inhibitors can be remo2ed by flushing the membrane with sterile $a#l solution after
filtration* Afterwards, the membrane filter is placed on a culture medium and incubated*
"or the Monitor M"FMethode the monitor is ready to use due to a preFasembled membrane
and pad inside* The nutrient media is added from the top and sucked into the pad by a short
2acuum
)R= sec*+ After remo2al of the funnel the lid and the base fit to a petri dish* $utrients and
metabolites are e3changed through the pore system of the membrane filter* #olonies, which

the sample 2olume*

N,TRIENT PAD SETS
Sartorius Stedim %iotech $utrient 1ad Sets ha2e been used successfully in the membrane
filter method for o2er > years* 1ractical and easy to handle, they reduce labor and simplify
many microbiological testing procedures*
$utrient pads are sterile, dehydrated culture media* !nce they are moistened with C*LC*J ml
of sterile and deminerali4ed )or distilled+ water they are ready to use immediately*
The le2el of moisture is optimal when an e3cess ring of water surrounding the pad is 2isible*All N)trient Pa" Set type are )pplie" ?it9 t9e appropriate memrane !ilter1 ?9i89

The membrane filters tailored to meet the special requirements of microbial detection are
a2ailable with @H mm or J mm diameters*
$utrient pad sets )$1S+ are continuously enhanced as part of our de2elopment program to
adapt our products to changing application requirements* %esides the new $1S types, we
ha2e also updated our packaging design* The standard $1S bo3 contains = sterile nutrient
pads, each of
which is indi2idually inserted in a petri dish and sterili4ed* Ten each of these petri dishes are
sealed in an aluminum bag* This special packaging in bags protects the sensiti2e formula
constituents of the nutrient pads during transport and storage from fluctuations in humidity
and
temperature* As a result, it guarantees the high quality of our $1S throughout their entire
shelf life of up to >@ months*

$RO&T( COMPARISON
The principle of the membrane filter method is based on the concentration of microorganisms
from relati2ely large samples on the surface of a membrane filter* $utrients and metabolites
are
e3changed through the pore system of the membrane filter* The pore si4e alone is not a
meaningful criterion* Due to the 2ariance in allocation of the pores, not all membranes
guarantee sufficient nutrient supply* A comparison of Sartorius Stedim %iotech cellulose
nitrate )cellulose mi3ed ester+ membranes with other mi3ed ester membranes re2eals
significant differences in growth promotion results* E* coli forms red colonies with a metallic
sheen* !ther coliforms would grow as dark to light red colonies without metallic sheen*
E* coli shows no metallic sheen on this mi3ed esters membrane* Therefore it is 2ery difficult
to differenciate between E* coli and coliforms without any further test* A quantitati2e
statement is difficult due to the fact of running colonies on the mi3ed esters membrane
surface*
