An electrodeionization apparatus comprising an endblock formed from a resilient material, and method for making the same. The resilient material may include various types of thermoplastic elastomers, such as, styrene block copolymers, copolyesters, plolyurethanes, polyamides, thermoplastic elastomeric olefins, and thermoplastic vulcanizates. The resilient material may have a Shore A hardness of between about 40 and about 90.

Injection bonded articles comprised of a rigid core and secured together with an elastomeric material network which also forms seals and encapsulates at least a portion of the rigid core. The elastomeric material is selected to be compatible with the material comprising the rigid core to create a chemical and mechanical bond therebetween. Injection bonding and over-molding techniques are used to fabricate an electrodeionization apparatus spacer comprised of mated rigid segments secured by a unitary elastomeric material network that also forms internal and external seals that fluidly isolate one or more of inlet ports, resin cavities, and outlet ports as well as throughports. Injection bonding and over-molding techniques can also be used to fabricate other articles comprised of multiple segments.

The present invention generally relates to devices able to purify fluids electrically that are contained within pressure vessels, as well as to methods of manufacture and use thereof. Liquids or other fluids to be purified enter the purification device and, under the influence of an electric field, are treated to produce an ion-depleted liquid. Species from the entering liquids are collected to produce an ion-concentrated liquid. Increasing the exterior pressure on the device may reduce the pressure difference between the interior of the device and the exterior, which may reduce manufacturing costs or simplify construction.

A filter punch construction is provided for use in conjunction with a multiwell filtration device wherein each well includes a filtration membrane. The punch has a leading flat surface to which is secured an elongated piercing member having a sharp point and a following surface to which is secured a guide member. The piercing member pierces the filtration membrane in each well and the flat leading surface pushes the entire membrane and retentate thereon into a receptacle vial.
