ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for processing multiple units of a particulate matter-containing fluid in independent source containers. Each source container has a separate filter assembly associated therewith near the top of the container, and the filter assemblies are in fluid communication with a manifold. Fluid is moved upwardly through the filter assemblies, out of the source containers and into a manifold assembly. Movable platforms, including a slide-carrying platform, support and manipulate the components such that the particulate matter samples are transferred from the filters to the slides.
