Abstract

A filtration assembly (10) for use in collecting a fluid sample possibly containing microorganisms, and capturing the microorganisms of interest in the sample such that the captured microorganisms can be subsequently detected. The filtration assembly includes a sample reservoir (20) for collecting and holding the fluid sample to be filtered, a fluid port (38) and a vent (70) in communication with the sample reservoir, a filter element (45) disposed in a flow path between the sample reservoir and fluid port, and a cover member (50) detachably covering the sample reservoir.
