<p>A fluid separation assembly allows the filter (12) within to be changed out quickly and easily while minimizing or eliminating leakage. The filter housing includes an inlet and an outlet end (90, 100), each having a respective coupling (21, 20) for attachment to a manifold or other device allowing fluid communication through the filter to a point of use. The couplings are designed for quick connect/disconnect and for minimal or no leakage. A one-way self-sealing valve (25) is provided to allow fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet. Upon application of a pressure differential to one side of the valve, the valve opens; upon application of ap ressure differentiel to the opposide side of the valve, the valve closes thereby preventing leakage. The fluid for separation can be slurry or fluid such as water or can be from a pre-loaded chromatography column.</p> |
