A multiwell test apparatus formed of a multiwell filter plate having a plurality
of wells and a first feeding plate and a second receiver plate is provided. The
wells of the multiwell filter plate each have an open bottom surface to which a
membrane is attached, at least one first access hole providing access to the feeding/receiver
plate below, a pair of alignment pins designed to fit alignment holes in the feeding/receiver
plates in a particular arrangement. The first feeding plate is a single well plate
or a multiwell plate used solely for feeding. The second receiver plate is a multiwell
plate having the same number of wells as the filter plate and aligned so as to
receive the wells of the filter plate therein used as the assaying plate. The use
of alignment holes in the feeding/receiver plates and alignment posts in the filter
plate ensure precise alignment of the plates when together.
