ISO 10705-2:2000
Water quality - Detection and enumeration of bacteriophages - Part 2: Enumeration of somatic coliphages
This part of ISO 10705 specifies a method for the detection and enumeration of somatic coliphages by incubating the sample with an appropriate host strain. The method is applicable to all kinds of water, sediments and sludge extracts, where necessary after dilution. The method is also applicable to shellfish extracts.
In the case of low phage numbers, a preconcentration step may be necessary for which a separate International Standard will be developed.
