Gather the sample and make necessary dilutions.
1.Choose an apt culture medium. Dispense broth into a sterile Petri dish.
2.Flame the forcep, and eliminate the membrane from the sterile package.
3.Keep the membrane filter in the funnel assembly.
4.Pour the sample into the funnel and turn on the vacuum to allow the sample draw completely through the filter.
5.Flame the forcep, remove the membrane filter from the funnel and place the membrane filter in the prepared petri dish.
6.Incubate at appropriate temperature.
7.Count the colonies.

It permits testing of large sample volumes.
We can transfer the membrane from one medium to another for selection or differentiation of organisms.
Results are obtained more rapidly when compared to that of conventional method.
