Abstract
Abstract A device and method for detecting and quantifying a substance by filtration. The device includes a body having two parts (1 and 2) nested into each other. One of the parts (1) is used as a reservoir and the other part (2) is used as a filter-holder and as a receptacle. The device further includes a retention and reaction system including a strut (3), two multi-pierced or perforated plates (4 and 5) which encase a filtering member and a thin strut. A seal is further provided between the two parts. The reservoir and the receptacle are connected to an external circuit by means of conduits, mouthpieces and pipes. The interlocking of the two parts is achieved by means of jointed hooks.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
A device for detecting, analyzing, identifying and characterizing a substance by filtration and immunofiltration comprising: a body comprising first and second parts coupled so that a second end of the first part is inserted into a first end of the second part, each of said parts having a flow path defined therethrough so that when said parts are coupled together, a flow path is defined through the body, one of said parts defining a reservoir and the other part defining a filter-holder; a retention and reaction system mounted between said first and second parts, said retention and reaction system including, in the order recited, a first perforated plate, a filtering membrane, a first washer, and a second perforated plate, said retention and reaction system being disposed so that said flow path intersects a plane of each of said first perforated plate, said filtering membrane, said first washer, and said second perforated plate; and gasket means mounted between said one of said parts and said retention and reaction system, said gasket being disposed in surrounding relation to said flow path; and a second washer mounted between said retention and reaction system and said other part, said second washer being disposed in surrounding relation to said flow path.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said one part includes a rectangular recess defining an outlet of said reservoir.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device as claimed in claim 2, wherein a cut-out is defined in each of said washers, said cut-outs having dimensions substantially equal to the dimensions of said rectangular recess.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
A device as is claimed in claim 1, wherein a stud extends parts and a groove is defined in the other of said parts, said stud being disposed in said groove when said first and second parts are coupled together whereby relative rotation of said first and second parts is prevented.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second washer has a thickness determined as a function of a volume of a chamber to be defined thereby.
