Hi there, please help! I am conducting the antibacterial assay of my plant sample following the well diffusion method. But I have faced with a problem. Should I filter my plant sample with the help of 0.2 micron filter inside laminar flow cabinet before adding the samples into the wells. I found that when I filtered my sample, the concentration as well as the volume of my prepared sample also get decreased. I have also gone through severe literatures of my field but found no paper mentioning the use of 0.2 micron filter. So is it necessary to do so or I can skip this step?
