Agilent PPM-48 Positive Pressure Manifold
The Agilent PPM-48 positive pressure manifold delivers faster, more consistent, and more reproducible results compared to traditional vacuum manifolds. Designed for solid phase extraction (SPE), supported liquid extraction (SLE), and protein precipitation workflows, the PPM-48 uses controlled positive pressure to ensure uniform flow across all channels. Its unique restricted flow ports maintain consistent gas flow – even when some positions are left unused – providing reliable cartridge-to-cartridge reproducibility.
The PPM-48 can process up to 48 samples simultaneously, boosting throughput while saving time and resources. Compatible with 1, 3, and 6 mL tubes, it easily handles a variety of workflows, including viscous samples requiring higher pressures (50–100 psi). Its modular rack design simplifies stacking, while an optional autosampler vial collection rack eliminates the need for transfer steps. Versatile and easy to use, the PPM-48 is a powerful addition to any sample preparation laboratory.
