A device for selectively filtering liquid samples in compartments comprising
inlet
and outlet openings of a carrier body under reduced pressure and vacuum drying
of the sample liquid in the area of the outlet openings of the compartments. The
device comprises a vacuum pump for producing two levels of subpressure, a suction
conduit, and a chamber comprising an interior space limited walls by a top wall
having an opening with an edge, a bottom wall, and lateral walls connecting the
top and bottom walls. A lid or the carrier body with outlet openings directed towards
the interior space of the chamber can be placed in a substantially gastight manner
on the opening with an edge. One of the lateral walls is formed as an access wall
which is opened and substantially gastightly sealed or introducing the carrier
body into the interior space of the chamber.
