  • Publication number: 20190184391
    Abstract: Described herein is an antibacterial filtering system. The system includes at least one microstructure disk contained in a housing through which there is a fluid flow containing the cells to be eliminated. The microstructure disk includes a plurality of raised microstructures. The microstructures are positioned to form inlet channels and outlet channels for the fluid flow to pass through. The microstructures are coated with an antimicrobial material that is bonded to the microstructures. The antimicrobial material includes at least one quarternary ammonium salt (QAS) and/or at least one siliylated polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) quarternized salt.
