Abstract (en)
A device for filtering sensitive biological micro-entities, according to a special application animal embryos flushed from a donor animal uterus, the micro-entities appearing suspended in a flushing solution fron this flushing solution. The device (10) comprises a housing which includes an inlet chamber (22) and an outlet chamber (24), separated by a sheet of filter material (18) which allows the passage of the flushing solution but retains the biological micro-entities (72), an inlet tube (32) extending out of the outlet chamber. For keeping the micro-entities suspended in the solution until microscopic selection, the device (10) is designed for an operating position wherein the filter material (18) is vertically oriented, and in the outlet chamber (24) there is an overflow threshold (50, 52) between this chamber and the outlet tube (50). <IMAGE>
