Porvair UltraPPM™ LITE Positive Pressure Manifold
The UltraPPM™ LITE Positive Pressure Manifold from Porvair Sciences provides a precise and controlled approach to sample processing, a critical step in preparation workflows where recovery, consistency and reproducibility are essential. By applying uniform positive pressure across each well, the system eliminates issues commonly associated with vacuum manifolds or inconsistent air delivery, such as filter blockages and uneven flow. This ensures every sample is processed under the same controlled conditions, even when working with small volumes or valuable material.
Developed for flexibility, the UltraPPM™ LITE allows both pressure and flow to be adjusted to suit the needs of different sample types. This adaptability helps safeguard samples against degradation, moisture, and overheating, while maintaining robust and repeatable performance. Its open design also provides visual confirmation of flow through each well, giving users confidence in the integrity of every run.
