Overview
About the project
A membrane autopsy is a valuable tool used in membrane (bio)fouling studies. One of the objectives of the autopsy is to quantify the amount of biomass. The current method involves sonication of the sample, followed by filtration and DOC measurement. The objective of the project is to investigate the influence of the sample preparation method on the measured value.
The Protocol Development for Biomass Quantification in Membrane Autopsies (Internship) project is offered at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)
