96-well Plates dedicated Vacuum Manifold
The 3M™ Empore™ High Performance Extraction Disk Plate differs in design from plates offered by other manufacturers and requires a specific vacuum manifold that is supplied by 3M.
Manifolds supplied by different plate manufacturers are specific to the design of their plates and cannot generally be used with plates from other manufacturers.
In some cases, the use of spacers to raise/lower the height of a collection device inside the manifold may overcome some incompatibility, but must be determined for each combination of manufacturer’s manifold and the collection device.

The one-, three- or six-station extraction manifold offers an efficient extraction apparatus.
These manifolds allow multiple sample processing and are more stable and compact than a series of single glass filtration systems. Using the manifold, up to six extractions can completed simultaneously, and multiple manifolds can be managed by a single operator.
The manifolds are constructed from corrosion resistant stainless steel. Each is individually controlled by a valve that allows extraction or venting to the atmosphere.
The valve stem is PTFE in a chrome-plated brass housing with stop-pins for positioning
