A method of sieving or filtering solid or semisolid biological samples e.g. stool or faecal samples is described. The method allows convenient collection of the resulting matter and/or liquid by centrifugation in a compatible laboratory tube. Accordingly, a sieving or filtering device is described having a first, open end and a second, closed end, wherein at least a portion of the walls are perforated, wherein the exterior of the device has means for mounting a first vessel in fluid connection with the first end of the device, and wherein the exterior of the device has means for mounting a second vessel in fluid connection with the second end of the device, such that when the first and second vessels are mounted on the device a sealed volume is formed wherein the interior volumes of the first and second vessels and the interior volume of the device are in fluid connection. A sample in the first vessel may be urged into the second vessel via the device under centrifugation. In addition, a system for manufacturing the filtering device comprising an injection moulding tool is also provided.
