ASPEC Positive Pressure Manifold

Description

The ASPEC Positive Pressure Manifold from Gilson Inc is a compact system designed for solid phase extraction (SPE) procedures. Its small footprint and single gas input connection facilitate straightforward setup, allowing the unit to be positioned conveniently under a fume hood, which is advantageous for extractions involving volatile solvents. The manifold employs positive pressure to drive solvents through SPE media, a method that promotes consistent flow rates and can enhance the reproducibility and recovery of target analytes. An integrated pressure gauge and controller provide regulation of this pressure. This positive pressure approach helps ensure complete elution of samples, including those with higher viscosities. The system supports parallel processing of multiple samples, which can significantly increase daily throughput. It offers flexibility through interchangeable manifolds that are compatible with standard 1 mL, 3 mL, and 6 mL SPE cartridges as well as 96-well SPE plates. Design features include a waste drain for handling large solvent volumes, a low gas pressure inlet (15 psi), and dual flow regulators for precise control during different SPE steps. The modular design allows it to be integrated into various workflows, and it can be used in conjunction with Gilson repetitive pipettes for accurate reagent dispensing.
