MultiScreenHTS Vacuum Manifold |
| Millipore’s MultiScreenHTS Vacuum Manifold is designed for use with 96- and 384-well MultiScreenHTS filter and receiver plates. With the addition of a deep well collar (Millipore cat. No. MSVM HTS 0D), this manifold can accommodate 96-well deep well receiver plates as well. This manifold allows rapid washing and/or collection of samples for a large number of applications, both manual and robotic. The MultiScreenHTS Vacuum Manifold’s compact size and unique design make it an excellent choice for use with most robotics systems. The dimensions of the manifold base are the same as those for standard microplates so the manifold will fit most deck locations. The manifold collar can be handled by robotic gripper systems. The collar holder accessory (Millipore cat. No. MSVM HTS 0H) creates a stable position for placement of the manifold collar during assembly/disassembly routines. Constructed from solvent resistant components, the MultiScreenHTS Vacuum Manifold connects, preferably, to a Millipore vacuum pump or, alternatively, to “house” vacuum. The manifold’s external on/off valve, vacuum control valve, and vacuum pressure gauge allow users to set and reliably measure the vacuum force on the filter plate. The vacuum manifold collar is sealed top and bottom with solvent-resistant silicone gaskets. For filter-to-waste applications, the filter plate rests on top of the manifold collar. For filtrate collection applications, the MultiScreenHTS Vacuum Manifold employs DirectStackSM technology, which allows the filter plate to be stacked on top of the receiver plate and placed into the base of the vacuum manifold. By eliminating the gap between the flow directors and the receiver wells, the potential for cross contamination between the wells is eliminated and the overall reliability of the vacuum system is greatly increased.
