Abstract: | A tangential flow filtration system for concentrating live pico-and nanoplankton was tested on natural seawater (<20 µm)from Kiel Bight. Twenty- to thirty-fold concentration of samplesranging from 79 to 152 dm3 was easily achieved, the time necessarydepending on sample volume, pumping pressure and filtrate/retentateratio. Losses of different kinds of cells in relation to theconcentration factor were quantified. Recovery rates were negativelycorrelated with the frequency of sample recirculation throughthe filtration unit. |
