Resarch report on Artemian concentraions pre- and after filtering.
"Hier ist anzumerken, dass gequollene Eier flexibler sind als trockene Eier. Weiterhin fuehren auch nur leicht angerissene "Eierschalen" zu einer gr..eren Flexibilit.t wodurch m.glicherweise ein Filterdurchtritt auch bei 50 µm ermoeglicht wird." Note: Glooary contains 'amrked' or 'slightly ripped' in a dental context. is this appropriate here?

marked


Explanation:
Marked could be possible here or maybe even cut, it would help what's used for the "Anreißen" (a scalpel, a pen, whatever). At first I thought cracked but that would be too much and we are supposedly not talking real egg shells here, right?

Explanation:
"ripped" is not appropriate. Scoring implies deliberate scratching.
