ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention involves a method and device for separating fluids from one another in a liquid mixture, and especially for separating un- desirable components from the liquid mixture to obtain one or more desirable components for subsequent use. A sample of the liquid mixture is first applied to a physical transport medium which moves at least a portion of the liquid mixture from a remote location thereon to a second location thereon and in contact with a first surface of a microporous separation membrane. This movement is achieved by gravity, absorption or capillary action and the physical transport medium may be a sheet of fabric with weave or otherwise or a channeled or grooved synthetic material. Once a portion of the liquid mixture has moved to the first surface of the microporous separation membrane, one or more undesirable components are separated from one or more desirable components and the desirable components are absorbed and pass through the membrane. The desirable component(s) reach the second (opposite) surface of the microporous separation membrane and contact a collecting membrane. This collecting mem- brane collects the desirable components for further use, e.g. it may be capable of reacting with at least one of the desirable components to display at least one chemical reaction characteristic thereof. For example, colorimetric reaction may take place and color intensity may indicate concentration level or other quantitative or qualitative characteristic.
