Available from Porvair Sciences Ltd. the Acrylic Manifold has been designed to be fully compatible with all ANSI / SBS standard* compliant solid phase extraction, filtration, protein precipitation and collection plates.

Precision machined from crystal clear acrylic (top plate) and acetal polymer (plenum chamber) this unique vacuum manifold allows the collection plate to be viewed throughout the entire elution process. In this way scientists can easily monitor progress of the separation process.

The Acrylic manifold is fitted with a valve controller to ensure accurate adjustments of vacuum to the manifold.  In addition a custom upper surface O-ring provides an airtight interface between plates during operation.  As a consequence plates (up to 45mm in height) may be processed with high reproducibility. 

The Acrylic Manifold is supplied with an adapter to fit standard 350 ?l, 1ml and 2ml / well plates, a waste collection reservoir tray, a square well collection plate and a set of simple operating instructions.

Established in 1992, Porvair Sciences Ltd. expertise in microplate technology and manufacturing covers scientific fields including Life Sciences, Drug Discovery, Combinatorial Chemistry, Solid Phase Extraction, Protein Purification, High Throughput Screening, Proteomics and Genomics.  Porvair Sciences Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Porvair plc.
