A small, stainless-steel sieve optimized for laboratory beaker-based extraction of microplastics from environmental samples

Removing non-plastic materials is a mandatory process for studying microplastics in environmental samples, and non-plastic materials, both inorganic and organic matter, are often removed chemically through sequential processes. In the multiple chemical treatment processes, the samples need to be col...
