Steve:

I have an unusual source to add: as these sieves are used in 
(silk-)screenprinting, I get those nylon-sieves from a local supplier 
here in Austria (would be of no use to add the name and address, I 
think).

They come in different mesh-width, and different material (nylon, 
polyester, metal, and so on).

I use these (nylon) for flowcytometry, but they are also used in 
tissue-culture (so they can be sterilized), and come by square meter 
(last time the price was about US$ 100 per sqm, and this is enough 
for about 10000 runs).

Maybe this is a cheap source, I think it is worth you check this out.

Hope I could help you

w.w.
