Development of a new method for concentation and detection of rotavirus in water samples.

At the international conference of the COST action 929 new alternative and successful method for concentrating viruses from water samples was presented. Our presentation at this conference was important fro the promotion of Slovenian science. The developed chromatographic method was compared to ultrafiltration technique used often for virus concentrating in water samples. Our new method was 3-4x more efficient than ultrafiltration. However, virus specific conditions in chromatographic method are disadvantage of this method.

Combination of CIM Chromatographic Supports and qPCR for the Detection of Rotavirus in Environmental Waters.

Combination of new developed CIM chromatographic method for concentrating rotaviruses in water samples and molecular detection of rotaviruses was compared at the world congress »Lab-on-a-chip«. At this congress new developed methods and improvements in the field of detection and laboratory diagnostics of possible bioterrorism agents was discussed. Our presentation offers a model of virus concentrating technique from water and their detection with in-field application.
