'Vacuum manifolds are used to
draw liquid through a filter or SPE plate into either a waste tray or a
collection plate. The application of vacuum increases the speed at which
samples can be collected.
We
are pleased to offer two vacuum manifolds with accessories:
MICROLUTE™ ACRYLIC VACUUM
MANIFOLD
Precision
machined from crystal clear acrylic (top plate) and acetal polymer (plenum chamber).
The acrylic top plate allows visual access to the plenum chamber for checking
progress of the separation process.
·
Designed to take most filter
plates manufactured to the SBS/ANSI specification with long drip directors
- Also
designed so that SPE plates can be used, especially the Porvair Sciences
MicroLute™ plates
- Fitted
with valve controller to ensure accurate adjustments of vacuum to the
manifold
- On/off
valve for speed of use
- Square
well collection plate volumes of 350µl, 1ml and 2ml may be used.
- Any
plate up to 44mm in height can be used
- Fitted
with a custom O-ring in upper surface allowing airtight interface between
plates during operation
- Removable
top plate to install reservoir tray or collection plate
·
Chamber has a medium
resistance to alcohols and weak acids
ROBOTIC COMPATIBLE UNIVERSAL
VACUUM MANIFOLD
Based
on the successful MicroLute™ Acrylic Manifold, this new vacuum manifold is
designed to be easily assembled and disassembled by robotic manipulators
enabling productive automation of SPE or DNA clean-up procedures. Able to
accommodate collection plates from 14mm - 44mm in height and adaptable for
working with short, medium and long skirts and drip directors, the Robotic
Compatible Universal Vacuum Manifold can operate with many different brands of
filter plate and collection trays. Supplied with an integral vacuum gauge, the
Manifold provides complete control of vacuum pressure ensuring plates are
processed with high reproducibility. The Manifold is fully compatible with most
commercial robotic liquid handling systems.
The
Universal Robotic Manifold is suitable for a range of manufacturer’s plates
without an adaptor. For certain plate types a Shallow Adaptor or a Deep
Adaptor, is required.
· Compatible with any filter
plate type
- Robotic
friendly designs aids automation
- Chemically
resistant acetal/acrylic construction
- Adaptable
for different collection plates
- Easy
visual inspection of process
· Built in vacuum gauge for
reproducibility
