2094258 9207243 PCTABS00012 A method and apparatus for separating target particles from a mixture of target and non-target particles. The apparatus includes a vessel (12) having an inlet (28) through which the mixture may be introduced and an outlet (30) through which the fluid may exit, at least a portion of which is pliable; a bed of binding material (24) disposed within the vessel (12), the binding material (24) attracting the target particles such that the target particles may become bound thereto and being porous enough to allow the non-target particles to pass therethrough; and a screen (26) disposed below the binding material (24) for retaining the binding material (24) in place. The pliable portion of the vessel (12) permits the user to separate the target particles from the binding material (24) by merely squeezing the pliable portion in such a manner as to cause relative movement in the binding material, thereby creating the necessary degree of agitation to cause the target particles to become dislodged from the binding material (24). The deformation of the pliable vessel (12) can be accomplished by either the user physically squeezing the vessel (12) with his/her hand or using an external apparatus (32) that applies the necessary force to the vessel (12).
