ROTI ® SampleConcentrator Water for molecular biology ROTI ® SampleConcentrator Water was developed to enrich biomolecules such as freely circulating nucleic acids, or microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, protozoa, but also bacteriophages and viruses from water samples. Approximately 1-1000 ml of fresh water of various origins can be used as a source. Concentration is based on a novel technology in which the water contained in the sample is specifically absorbed by means of special SCW beads. The biomolecules and microorganisms in the water sample are thus enriched and made available for subsequent analyses. The sample can then be used directly, without additional filtration, centrifugation or precipitation, for various molecular biological analyses or microbiological cultivation methods. Due to the high degree of concentration the sensitivity of each downstream application is significantly increased.
