Since 2007, the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project has been monitoring the impact of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) on public health at Doheny, Avalon, and Surfrider beaches in California (just when thought it doesn't get worse than peeing in the pool). They explain and summarize their tracking efforts in a neat video below.
Sterlitech also offers analytical funnels, Grade F glass fiber filters, manifolds, and microbiological monitors that are similar to the ones you see in the video. If you are also working with or involved in microbiological monitoring, we are also developing a new microbiological monitor that uses a polycarbonate membrane filter in place of the usual MCE filter. You can contact us here, if you would like to learn more.
