I'm not sure this is what you are after, but we have been happy with the following tissue screens: http://savec.com/ecnew/htmlcats/cat00101/sx030001.htm (click on photo at right) These are made by Savant / E-C Apparatus Corporation, but at least here in Ontario, are marketed through VWR / Canlab. The screens come in a wide range of mesh sizes. For the finer meshes, there is a very sturdy support screen. The screens fit into a nifty pan with a handle. We learned the hard way that the only way to get the 'sieve pan' is to buy one of the kits, which means acquiring some screens of not very useful mesh sizes. This system, called "Cellector" is actually intended for cells/tissues. Fisher has others, some made of brass, that seemed more targetted to people sifting non-living particles.
