Abstract

A filtering device comprising a filtering element that can be attached to an adapter. The filtering element comprises a mesh surrounding a cavity. The mesh of the filtering element is constructed to have sufficient porosity so that hydrostatic and mechanical pressures force the liquid components of a suspension into the cavity of the filtering element from where they can be aspirated and collected. Preferably, at least one semi-rigid rib supports the mesh. This invention also involves a method for using the filtering device in a variety of applications. These applications include, but are not limited to, sampling of suspensions, filtration of particulate materials from suspensions, and purification or isolation of chemical or biological components contained within the a suspension.
