Abstract
A multi-well filtration apparatus is provided that has a housing, a multi-well filtration plate, and a pivotable member. The pivotable member secures the multi-well filtration plate to the housing and is associated with a resilient member. When the multi-well filtration plate is pressed against the pivotable member, it pivots, and the resilient member compresses to allow the pivotable member to instantaneously engage the multi-well filtration plate to secure it to the housing. The pivotable member can quickly release the multi-well filtration plate by simply exerting a force on a surface of the pivotable member.
