Innovative Laboratory Technique for Testing of Bacterial Filtration Efficiency of Nanofibre-based Filters
Original language description
The air filters with high Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) should help protect people effectively against various air borne particles including bacteria. In general, a ntibacterial properties of nanofiber membranes are tested by the conventional agar diffusion test where the small piece of test specimen is placed on agar plate and inoculated with test microorganism and incubated. This method provides only a qualitative impress ion of how effective the antibacterial additive is against the bacteria.From this viewpoint, agar diffusion test is not sufficient for characterizing filtration properties such as how much protection the filter would provide against the bacteria dispersed in air. This paper describes a new laboratory technique for testing BFE of nano fiber membrane based filters that provides quantitative results. Nano-fiber based materials were prepared by electrospinning process and tested using this new technique. A bacterial aerosol was prepared using non-pathogenic E.
