  • Patent number: 5567309
    Abstract: An improved filtration device capable of filtering and storing liquid which can then be removed from the device for analysis. A top cap is placed over a filter cap such that a seal is created between these two caps. The filter cap has an opening on its bottom end which is covered by a filter membrane. A storage reservoir is created in the device when the top cap and the filter cap are sealed together. These caps are then slidably received by a vial containing unfiltered sample such that a seal is formed with the interior wall of the vial and the outer wall of the top cap. A needle with a needle housing pierces the top cap and forces the device downward which directs the sample in the vial through the filter on the filter cap and into a storage reservoir to be removed through the needle.
