VACMASTER-10 AND -20
SAMPLE PROCESSING MANIFOLDS
VacMaster Sample Processing Manifolds are used to
process up to ten (VacMaster-10) or twenty
(VacMaster-20) samples simultaneously. Designed
to meet the most demanding criteria for safety,
extract purity, flexibility and ease-of-use, the
VacMaster manifolds provide productivity enhancements
in many applications. Both VacMaster-10 and
-20 manifolds are supplied complete with thick
walled glass tank, PTFE lid, fine vacuum control and
vacuum safety valve, inert polyethylene collection
tube rack, port sealing plugs and replaceable stainless
steel needles that are compatible with all
industry standard Luer tipped SPE columns.
Features and Advantages
• Robust, inert system constructed from glass, PTFE and polyethylene avoids sample contamination
• Optional PTFE stopcock and stopcock/needles allow for additional flow control and purity
• Multiple stations allows for parallel processing of SPE and filtration applications
• Thick walled glass tank allows clear view of the sample processing operation
• Collection tube rack with easy lift carrying handle allows for safe transfer of samples
• Vacuum safety valve fitted as standard to ensure safe sample processing
• Range of accessories for enhancing productivity
Versatile Collection Rack
Resistant to commonly used organic solvents, acids and basics, the VacMaster collection rack is constructed from
inert material. Spacing between each rack plate is fully adjustable, to fit a wide range of collection vessels. The
carrying handle makes lifting and transporting fully loaded racks easy and safe. Racks with alternative diameter
holes are available through our Custom Manufacturing Service.
Stopcock Options
We recommend VacMaster-10 or -20 manifolds are fitted with PTFE stopcocks for optimum flow control. For a
totally inert system, the standard stainless steel needles can be replaced with optional one piece PTFE needles
or stopcock/needle units (see page 105). Both have excellent solvent resistance and smooth operation without
sticking.
Safety Features
Biohazard safety: for hazardous matrices such as plasma or urine, unique design features and operating procedures
provide a safer working system. With the lid mounted vacuum controls, it is possible to use one tank
to process samples, and dedicate a second tank for analyte elution only, avoiding any contamination. Both tanks
can be processed using the same vacuum source, connected with the PTFE T-valve (see page 105). All components
are easy to clean.
Vacuum safety: Each system is fully tested under a strict vacuum cycling regime to ensure safe operation. A
vacuum safety valve is fitted as standard to prevent safe vacuum levels being exceeded.
