Simple field method for concentration of viruses from large volumes of water.
A pressure spray tank was adapted to supply positive pressure for processing water samples for concentrating viruses with microporous filters under field conditions. This low-cost system allows water to be processed in locations where electric current is not readily available or where light-weight portable equipment is required.
