Abstract: A chromatography device having a housing formed from an upper housing ultrasonically welded to a lower housing. A compression extension and a boss located inside of the housing with the media disposed between the compression extension and the boss such that a perimeter of the media is compressed between the compression extension and the boss forming a liquid impermeable seal along the perimeter after the upper housing is ultrasonically welded to the lower housing.

Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a filter replacement kit that includes a filter cartridge. The filter cartridge includes a filter body, a filter media disposed within the filter body, a neck portion having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and a cartridge engagement mechanism on the neck portion for engaging a manifold assembly. The cartridge engagement mechanism includes at least one filter engagement surface. The filter replacement kit also includes compatibility indicia indicating that the filter cartridge is compatible with at least one appliance. The at least one appliance includes the manifold assembly including a manifold engagement mechanism having a manifold engagement surface with first and second horizontal portions, and an angled portion disposed between and joining the first horizontal portion to the second horizontal portion, wherein the filter engagement surface is non-congruent to the manifold engagement surface.
