<p class="jove_content">Electropositive filters are useful in concentrating viruses from water; however these filters can differ in their structure and composition which could in turn alter their effectiveness. Compounding this problem, capsid structures and charges vary between virus strains requiring concentration techniques be tailored to ensure optimal recovery <sup>15</sup>. Through simple modifications of the existing concentration techniques (<em>e.g.,</em> electropositive filters, beef extract elution), more effective concentration of t...

<p class="jove_content">Human enteric viruses are important causative agents of waterborne diseases<sup> 1-3</sup>, but are generally present in low numbers in contaminated environmental waters, making their detection difficult without concentration. Procedures used to concentrate viruses typically include a filtration step, followed by filter elution, and secondary concentration of the filter eluate. A common filtration procedure relies on use of charged membranes such as electropositive filters (recently reviewed in <sup>4,5</sup>). These filters rely on capturing viruses suspended in water using electrostatic interactions between the filter surface (positively charged) and targeted virus particles (negatively charged). Two electropositive filters that are commercially available rely on this technology, the glass/cellulose and nano-alumina/glass fiber filters. The glass/cellulose filter costs are up to 10 times that of the nano-alumina/glass fiber, which limit the use of the glass/cellulose filters for routine virus monitoring. Recent studies have concluded differences are nominal between these two filters in recovery of enteroviruses from ambient water <sup>6,7</sup>, justifying the use of a cheaper filter alternative. Other filter options such as electronegative and glass-wool filters have been studied, however, they either require the pretreatment of source water (electronegative filters) or are not commercially available (glass-wool filters). The development of virus concentration procedures has mostly focused on optimizing primary concentration techniques (filters) in order to improve virus recoveries from water. However, secondary concentration procedures, which reduce the volume of eluant typically from 1 L to milliliter volumes, can also have a significant impact on virus recoveries <sup>8</sup>.</p>
<p class="jove_content">Secondary concentration of enteric viruses typically relies on a flocculating agent such as some types of beef extract (organic flocculation) or skimmed milk flocculation <sup>9-12</sup> to remove virus particles from filter surfaces. Recently, another secondary concentration procedure using beef extract coupled with the addition of celite (fine particle) has shown promise for recovering adenovirus, enterovirus, and norovirus <sup>8,13,14</sup>. Celite concentration works under similar principles to that of the organic flocculation method in that virus particles attach to and are released from particles (floc or celite) by altering the pH of the suspension solution. Comparisons between these two secondary concentration techniques have been evaluated in recovery of spiked adenovirus (AdV) types 40 and 41 <sup>8</sup>. This study concluded that the two secondary concentration techniques were statistically similar in recovery of adenoviruses. However, the organic flocculation method requires a 30 min. incubation at pH 3.5, while the celite technique requires a shorter incubation (10 min) at pH 4.0. The organic flocculation also requires the use of expensive laboratory equipment (centrifuges) to collect floc particles during tertiary concentration, the celite technique in contrast uses only basic laboratory equipment (vacuum filtration) to separate celite particles from suspension.</p>
<p class="jove_content">Certain combinations of filters and secondary elution techniques can also affect virus recoveries. One study concluded that certain combinations of primary (electropositive filters) and secondary concentration techniques (celite or organic flocculation) had a significant impact of recovery of adenovirus <sup>13</sup>. These findings suggest that optimization is required in order to optimally recover target virus from a given water matrix when using these techniques. Optimization is a time consuming, arduous process many researchers actively avoid since numerous variables will be evaluated (filter type/brand, pH elution solution, celite/organic flocculation).</p>
<p class="jove_content">For this study, a procedure was developed to identify optimal conditions for virus concentration from water using spiked human adenovirus strains 40 and 41. Presumably, since each virus type displays a unique capsid morphology and specific capsid charge, concentration protocols may need to be optimized for every virus target in order to attain optimal viral recovery. This study provides an approach for AdV 40 and 41 concentration by: 1) evaluating virus recoveries in tap water using electropositive filter discs followed by 2) evaluation of an established organic flocculation method versus the celite technique as a secondary concentration, and 3) evaluation of elution buffers for tertiary concentration.</p>

a small volume procedure for viral concentration from water

<p class='jove_content'>Small-scale concentration of viruses (sample volumes 1-10 L, here simulated with spiked 100 ml water samples) is an efficient, cost-effective way to identify optimal parameters for virus concentration. Viruses can be concentrated from water using filtration (electropositive, electronegative, glass wool or size exclusion), followed by secondary concentration with beef extract to release viruses from filter surfaces, and finally tertiary concentration resulting in a 5-30 ml volume virus concentrate. In order to identify optimal concentration procedures, two different electropositive filters were evaluated (a glass/cellulose filter [1MDS] and a nano-alumina/glass filter [NanoCeram]), as well as different secondary concentration techniques; the celite technique where three different celite particle sizes were evaluated (fine, medium and large) followed by comparing this technique with that of the established organic flocculation method. Various elution additives were also evaluated for their ability to enhance the release of adenovirus (AdV) particles from filter surfaces. Fine particle celite recovered similar levels of AdV40 and 41 to that of the established organic flocculation method when viral spikes were added during secondary concentration. The glass/cellulose filter recovered higher levels of both, AdV40 and 41, compared to that of a nano-alumina/glass fiber filter. Although not statistically significant, the addition of 0.1% sodium polyphosphate amended beef extract eluant recovered 10% more AdV particles compared to unamended beef extract. </p>

<p class="jove_content">Celite selection</p>
<p class="jove_content">Three different types of celite were tested prior to the selection of the best performing variant. Celites with fine to medium sized particles produced the highest adenovirus recoveries. Use of larger celites resulted in lower recoveries for both AdV40 and 41 (range 32%-100%) (<strong>Figure 1</strong>). Average recoveries of adenovirus 40 were 144% &#177; 52% (fine), 115% &#177; 28% (medium) and 82% &#177; 53% (large) particle celites and for AdV41, 132% &#177; 39% (fine), 83...

	<p>After you have prepared 0.1 M NaOH, determine its exact concentration, or standardize it, using the acid-base titration method. In this technique, a base like NaOH is slowly added to an acid like potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP). The chemical reaction that takes place in the flask is a neutralization reaction. In this neutralization reaction, one mole of base neutralizes one mole of acid, resulting in salt and water. This reaction is performed in the presence of the indicator phenolphthalein, which is colorless at the start of the reaction when the pH is acidic. The indicator turns pink as soon as enough NaOH is added to the flask to make the pH basic.</p>

	<p>In this experiment, you will combine varying concentrations of aqueous HCl and sodium thiosulfate to make solid sulfur, which rapidly gathers into opaque yellow particles at a certain sulfur concentration. Since the reaction solution starts clear and colorless, you can easily tell when it reaches that concentration.</p>
	<p>You&#39;ll use the same test tube and total volume each time, so it will take the same amount of sulfur to make each solution completely opaque. Thus, you&#39;ll measure the reaction progress by timing how long that takes. You&#39;ll then use that data to estimate the reaction orders of the individual reactants and of the overall reaction.</p>

	<p>In this lab, you&#39;ll learn several important techniques that you&#39;ll use throughout this class. This includes measuring the mass or volume of reactants and products, methods of heating and cooling reaction mixtures, proper selection and handling of glassware, and separating solids and liquids by vacuum filtration. First, you&#39;ll synthesize benzoic acid by protonating sodium benzoate with hydrochloric acid, or HCl, using water as the solvent. Sodium benzoate is very soluble in water, but benzoic acid is not, so you can filter the solid product out of the solution.</p>
	<p>You&#39;ll use vacuum filtration, which is used for powdery solids, to filter out the benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is less soluble in water at lower temperatures, so you&#39;ll collect more product if you cool the reaction solution before you filter it. When you do this lab, remember that HCl is toxic and a strong acid. It&#39;s always best to work with strong acids and organic solvents in a fume hood. If you spill any HCl, follow your lab&#39;s procedures for neutralizing and cleaning up strong acids.</p>

	<li data-note-item="2" data-parent-collapse="">Refluxing Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and Measuring Product Mass<button class="expand">Expand</button>
	<p>While your benzoic acid dries, you&#39;ll practice refluxing tetrahydrofuran, or THF, which has a boiling point of 66 &#176;C. THF is volatile, flammable, and an irritant, so avoid letting it touch your skin and always work with it in a fume hood. Refluxing is a technique that constantly condenses the vapor and returns it to the flask. This allows reactions to be performed at high temperatures, such as at the solvent&#39;s boiling point, without losing the solvent to evaporation.</p>
	<p>Refluxing is achieved with a special piece of glassware called a condenser, which is attached directly to your flask. The condenser is cooled with water flowing through the outer chamber. As vapor rises through the condenser, it loses heat to the cool walls, condenses, and drips back into the flask.</p>
	<p>Refluxing is usually performed in a round-bottom flask. These flasks must be heated in a heating bath or with specialized equipment, but they provide more even heating than an Erlenmeyer flask or beaker as a result.

	<p>In this part of the lab, you&#39;ll purify acetanilide by recrystallization from an aqueous solution. Acetanilide is moderately soluble in boiling water, but it&#39;s much less soluble in room temperature and cold water. Aniline, a potential impurity, is much more soluble in room temperature water. Thus, you&#39;ll first make a saturated solution of acetanilide in boiling water. Then, you&#39;ll slowly cool the solution to room temperature.</p>
	<p>As the acetanilide&#39;s solubility decreases, it will slowly form flat colorless or white crystals. Water-soluble impurities will remain in solution. You will then cool the solution to further decrease the solubility of acetanilide. Finally, you&#39;ll recover the crystals with vacuum filtration and measure the melting point of your crystals.</p>
