Abstract
A filter has a channel layer film defining a channel, a boundary layer mounted to at least a portion of the channel layer film and forming a non-adhesive boundary for the channel, and filter media disposed in fluid communication with the channel. The boundary layer typically includes a non-porous or semipermeable film. The filter is configured and arranged to provide for flow of at least a portion of a fluid along the channel and into the filter media. This filter can be used in a device as a filter over a vent in a housing of the device.
