Hi,
I just read on Zfin about harvesting paramecium. They propose to use
polyester filter cloth (105um and 23um) to filter and concentrate
paramecium. I was wondering if anybody has a good source from where I
can purchase the filter cloth.
Thank you,
Claudia

I am looking for the same filter cloth for filtering paramecia. Do you have a recommendation of a vendor from which I could purchase sufficient filter cloth?

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Claudia and Aaron,
The original sizes may not be available, so I recommend using 100 micron and 20 or 10 mircon. When searching the web, look for 'bolting cloth'. The following website has several sizes:

Additional note, ZIRC has an updated paramecia culturing protocol on-line if you haven't seen it. I would be happy to answer questions, if needed.
