• Absolute retention rate (99.9995% for Bac. sub. niger, 99.94% for T3 phages)
• The filter maintains the viability of collected microorganisms for a relevant and meaningful sampling time
• Gelatine filters are completely water-soluble, therefore microbes in one sample can be cultivated in/on different nutrient media or low and high bacteria counts can be measured - the sample is not affected by inhibitors
• The solubility of the gelatine filter is a prerequisite for virus sampling
