FY 1999 Great Lakes Projects
Rapid E. Coli Tests
| Rapid E. Coli Tests: Suitability for Swimming
Beach Areas (DW14947948-01-0: $71,500) |
| Recipient: U.S. Geological Survey |
| Project Period: 10/1/99 to 5/1/02 |
| Project Officer: David Rockwell (312-353-1373) |
This research will focus on the capability of flow
cytometry to determine E. coli concentration more rapidly than currently
used protocols. For this purpose, a beach will be tested during the
swimming season. Water samples will be simultaneously tested using
cytometry and traditional filtering approach. Results from the two
protocols will be compared statistically using regression analysis and
paired test.
