A mechanically simple, small, hand held device is provided based on filtering and pressure equilibration techniques involving a unique hand-operating sequence that produces air pressure within the collection tube and the device, to enable simple and rapid extraction of blood serum or plasma or other filtrate in milliliter quantities from a collected sample. The device can also provide dilution of the serum, plasma or filtrate, capture of unwanted molecular constituents or dispensing of desired reagents. Pipette extraction of diluted or undiluted blood plasma, serum or filtrate from the device can also be achieved via a septum. The device permits all functions to be performed rapidly and with minimum danger of exposure of the operator or contamination of the sample while enabling standard evacuated collection tubes to be used.
