What's the difference between percolator and strainer?

Percolator


Definition:

  • (n.) One who, or that which, filters.

  • (20) Collagenase-dispersed cells from human chorion laeve were examined on Percoll gradients.

Strainer


Definition:

  • (n.) One who strains.
  • (n.) That through which any liquid is passed for purification or to separate it from solid matter; anything, as a screen or a cloth, used to strain a liquid; a device of the character of a sieve or of a filter; specifically, an openwork or perforated screen, as for the end of the suction pipe of a pump, to prevent large solid bodies from entering with a liquid.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The tissue was sieved through a large strainer (2 mm2) to produce a homogeneous suspension.
  • (2) The Brooklyn Bridge Park, High Line and Low Line parks are healthy gauges of this, along with project +POOL , a “plus” shaped pool which will act like a giant strainer dropped into the Hudson river.
