Filtration container assemblies and methods

A filtration container assembly, comprising:

• an outer container having a first open end and a second closed end and an inner wall extending between the first open end and the second closed end, the outer container defining an inner cavity;
• a plunging assembly having a longitudinal axis and being configured to be received at least partially within the inner cavity of the outer container, wherein the plunging assembly includes:
• an inner sleeve having a first end and a second end, an outer wall extending between at least a portion of the first end and the second end, and an inner bore;
• a filtration assembly including a housing coupled to the second end of the inner sleeve and a filter media disposed within the housing, the filtration assembly in fluid communication with the inner bore, wherein the housing includes a plurality of inlets extending along the longitudinal axis of the plunging assembly, the plurality of inlets being configured for allowing a liquid to flow radially into the housing, through the filter media, and into the inner bore;
• and
• a sealing device configured for forming a seal between the inner wall of the outer container and the plunging assembly, wherein the plunging assembly is configured to filter the liquid as the liquid moves from the inner cavity of the outer container through the filtration assembly to the inner bore of the plunging assembly.

A filtration container assembly, comprising:

• filling an outer container at least partially with the liquid, wherein the outer container includes a first open end and a second closed end and an inner wall extending between the first open end and the second closed end, the outer container defining an inner cavity;
• inserting a plunging assembly at least partially into the inner cavity of the outer container, wherein the plunging assembly defines a longitudinal axis and an inner bore, wherein the plunging assembly includes:
• an inner sleeve having a first end and a second end, an outer wall extending between at least a portion of the first end and the second end;
• a filtration assembly including a housing and a filter media disposed within the housing, the filtration assembly in fluid communication with the inner bore, wherein the housing includes an outer wall extending between a first end and a second end, the outer wall including a plurality of apertures configured for allowing a liquid to flow radially through the outer wall into the housing, through the filter media, and into the inner bore;
• and
• a sealing device configured for forming a seal between the inner wall of the outer container and the plunging assembly;
• and
• pressing the plunging assembly into the inner cavity of the outer container such that the liquid moves from the inner cavity of the outer container through the filtration assembly to the inner bore of the plunging assembly.
