Product Description
Vacuum manifolds for SPE sample preparation, filtration, and elusion are available in
12-, 16-, and 24-port configurations. These manifolds permit consistent extraction and
filtration results. Multiple sample processing with these manifolds simplifies procedures
and saves time. The manifolds consist of a clear glass chamber and lid to which a vacuum
is applied to draw a sample through an SPE column, cartridge, or disk.
Adjustable racks placed in the glass vacuum chamber will accommodate a variety of
sample collection vessels, including test tubes, autosampler vials, volumetric flasks, and
Erlenmeyer flasks. Eluants are deposited directly into the collection vessel of choice via
polypropylene, optional stainless steel, or Ptfe needles. Drying attachments for the
12- and 24-port manifolds will direct a flow of air or nitrogen into the collection vessels
to dry eluants prior to further analysis. Drying attachments can also be connected, via
adapters, to SPE columns or cartridges in order to dry the column or cartridge prior
to final elusion. Optional disposable solvent resistant polypropylene containers are
available for the twelve port manifolds. These waste containers greatly simplify sample
preparation, solvent disposal, and clean-up.

Efficient Solid Phase ExtractionStreamline your laboratory workflow with this SPE Vacuum Manifold, supporting up to 12 simultaneous samples. Its design ensures reliable extraction across cartridges of various sizes, providing consistent results for analytical and preparative applications. Ideal for users needing throughput and accuracy without compromising chemical resistance.
Superior Chemical CompatibilityBuilt with borosilicate glass and PTFE valves, the manifold excels in handling organic solvents and aqueous solutions. Its robust construction delivers excellent durability and ensures safe operation in demanding lab environments.
Precise Vacuum ControlThe integrated vacuum gauge and individual PTFE stopcocks enable uniform and adjustable suction across all ports. With a vacuum range of 030 inHg, users can fine-tune conditions for optimal sample extraction in accordance with protocol requirements.
FAQs of SPE VACUUM MANIFOLD:
Q: How do I operate the SPE Vacuum Manifold for solid phase extraction?
A: To use the manifold, insert SPE cartridges (1, 3, 6, or 12 mL) into each port, connect the vacuum source via the standard 1/4 inch port, and place samples into the glass reservoir. Adjust the vacuum gauge and PTFE valves to regulate suction and process up to 12 samples in one run.
Q: What materials make up the manifold and why are they important?
A: The manifold is constructed of borosilicate glass, PTFE valves, and a stainless steel rack. These materials provide high chemical resistance and mechanical stability, making it suitable for organic solvents, aqueous solutions, and frequent use in laboratory settings.
Q: When should I use individual control valves during extraction?
A: Individual PTFE control valves allow you to manage and isolate each sample port, enabling selective operation for troubleshooting, protocol optimization, or processing samples with different extraction conditions.
Q: Where can this SPE Vacuum Manifold be used?
A: This equipment is suitable for analytical, research, or preparative labs. Common applications include pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, food safety labs, and research institutes specializing in sample purification or extraction.
Q: What is the typical process workflow for samples using this manifold?
A: Samples are loaded into cartridges, placed on the rack, and vacuum is applied. Extracted samples collect in the glass reservoir, which can then be removed for further analysis or processing. The system supports parallel extraction to save time and ensure consistency.
Q: How does the chemical compatibility benefit laboratory procedures?
A: With chemical resistant construction, the manifold safely accommodates a wide range of solvents and reagents, minimizing contamination risks and equipment degradation during routine extraction tasks.
