Science - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / Mikrobiologie
German term or phrase: Keimabreicherung
Es geht um einen Prüfbericht, dort ist die "Validierung der Keimabreicherung" beschrieben und es wird auf mehrere SOPs verwiesen.

Gemeint ist also die Verringerung der Keimzahl, aber wie lautet der englische Begriff für "Keimabreicherung"?

Vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe :-)
