The present invention relates to a method and device for the assay and determination of the concentration of organisms or other filterable constituents of a fluid test sample. The method includes the steps of exposing, processing, and analyzing a liquefied sample in a filter tray apparatus. Each filter element (FE) filters a volume of liquid from a common fluid test sample. Excess unfiltered liquid and filtrate is removed from the filter tray apparatus. Each filter element contained in the filter tray apparatus is exposed to culture medium and/or appropriate testing reagents introduced to the apparatus to generate an indicator of the filterable constituent. Final examination is conducted on the filter tray apparatus for the indication of the presence and/or absence of filtered constituents in the multiple filter elements. The presence/absence information defines the concentration of the filterable constituent in the fluid test sample.
