Summary of approaches tested and repartition of samples. EPA: elution protocol as described in U.S. EPA Method 1623.1; Blender: Alternative elution protocol consisting of opening the EnviroChek filtration cartridge, slicing the membrane surface and blending the pieces in a commercial blender; IMS: concentration by immunomagnetic separation according to the USEPA Method 1623.1; Microfiltration: concentration by filtrating the eluate with a Sterivex.™ filter of 0.45 µm of pore size
