  • Title: A comparison of the efficiency of the Nuclepore and Millipore filtration systems for detecting microfilariae.
    Author: Abaru DE, Denham DA.
    Journal: Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health; 1976 Sep; 7(3):367-9. PubMed ID: 1030840.
    Abstract:
    Using Brugia pahangi or Dirofilaria immitis as the test organisms no significant difference could be detected between Nuclepore and Millipore filters. It was found that 0.7% of microfilariae passed through the Millipore and 1% through the Nuclepore filters. No microfilariae were lost from the Nuclepore membrane during the staining process.
