    Abstract: A method of welding a side of a first element to a side of a second element is provided. The side of the first element includes a recessed surface and a protruding surface. The side of the second element includes a recessed surface and a protruding surface. A rib extends from the first element, optionally from the recessed surface of the first element, or from the second element, optionally from the protruding surface of the second element. The method includes a step of moving the first element towards the second element, thereby causing a surface of the rib to contact the first element or the second element. The method also includes, with the rib in contact with the first element or the second element, as step of melting the rib, thereby causing the protruding surface of the first element to contact the recessed surface of the second element.

    Abstract: A filter arrangement with a top element and a bottom element and a filter element therebetween captures oversized particles on the upper surface of the filter element and tangentially rinses these particles using an elution fluid to provide a concentration of particles in a relatively low volume of fluid for further analysis. A configuration using a slider valve may also be utilized. Additionally, an arrangement of supply and receiving containers may be used to minimize the number of containers required. A mass flow meter may be incorporated to measure the flow of elution fluid. Finally, a wash stage of the filtering process may be used to introduce stain onto the particles for further analysis, such as that associated with Gram staining and these stained particles may be further analyzed.

    Abstract: A filter arrangement with a top element and a bottom element and a filter element therebetween captures oversized particles on the upper surface of the filter element and tangentially rinses these particles using an elution fluid to provide a concentration of particles in a relatively low volume of fluid for further analysis. In an intermediate step, the particles captured by the filter may be rinsed with a rinsing fluid such as water to pass additional undersized particles through the filter, thereby providing a purer sample. To improve efficiency, check valves may be used for passageways with one-way flow. Additionally, a configuration of three-way stopcocks may also be utilized. Finally, a sandwich arrangement is possible, wherein a single bottom element is sandwiched between two opposing top elements.
