Abstract
A device for separating sperm cells from seminal fluid includes a first container for accepting the seminal fluid and a second container for accepting sperm cells separated from the seminal fluid. At least one wall separates interiors of the first and second containers, and such wall has an upper edge. A bridge member of U-shaped cross-sectional configuration is positioned to fit over and enclose the upper edge and an upper portion of the wall to define therewith a gap that forms a fluid bridge through which sperm cells that have separated from the seminal fluid may pass from the interior of the first container to the interior of the second container.
