Disclosed is a method of separating an embryo suspension mass, the method comprising: supplying an embryo suspension mass culture having a plurality of first particles of a first size and a plurality of second particles of a second size different at least in part from the first size of the first particles suspending the embryo suspension mass culture in a fluid to create a mixture and forcing the mixture through at least a first filter while maintaining the mixture in the fluid to separate the first particles from the second particles. Further disclosed is a method of separating an embryo suspension mass, the method comprising: supplying an embryo suspension mass culture having a plurality of first particles of a first size and a plurality of second particles of a second size different at least in part from the first size of the first particles suspending the embryo suspension mass culture in a fluid to create a mixture and applying a rotary motion to the mixture to force the mixture through a filter to separate the first particles from the second particles. Further disclosed is a method of separating an embryo suspension mass, the method comprising: supplying an embryo suspension mass culture having a plurality of first particles of a first size and a plurality of second particles of a second size different at least in part from the first size of the first particles depositing the embryo suspension mass culture in a basket having a plurality of pores sized to filter at least the first particles from the second particles suspending the basket containing the embryo suspension mass culture in a fluid to create a mixture and applying a rotary motion to the mixture to force the mixture through the plurality of pores of the basket to separate the first particles from the second particles.
