Agilent Vac Elut Cartridge Manifolds

The Agilent Vac Elut Cartridge Manifolds are designed to improve laboratory productivity by enabling the simultaneous extraction of multiple samples using Bond Elut SPE cartridges. Available in 12- or 20-position formats to suit different sized sample sets, these vacuum manifolds systems provide reliable operation and accommodate a wide range of workflows. The compact linear design minimises bench space requirements, while the clear glass base allows direct observation of the entire extraction process.

For flexible operation, the Vac Elut manifolds can be configured with different collection racks to suit commonly used tube formats, including larger 16 × 150 mm vessels for applications requiring elution volumes greater than 10 mL, such as combinatorial chemistry. Disposable polypropylene delivery needles reduce the risk of sample carryover and can be easily replaced with extender tips for direct flow into collection tubes. The manifolds incorporate a vacuum control valve, gauge, and quick-release valve mounted on the lid for easy adjustment away from the corrosive waste stream. Both versions combine durability, precision, and flexibility to support consistent, high-throughput solid phase extraction.

Each manifold comes complete with the following components:

  • Glass chamber with exit valve
  • Collection rack (various sizes)
  • White cover
  • Sealing gasket
  • Gauge assembly with valve and ball ring
  • Disposable needle tips
  • Long valve stopcock
  • Male luer plugs
  • Needle tip ejector tool

Features

  • Capacity – Available in 12- or 20-position formats for simultaneous SPE cartridge processing
  • Precision Control – Integrated vacuum gauge with control and release valves for accurate vacuum adjustment
  • Observation – Transparent glass base allows clear monitoring of the entire collection process
  • Cross-Contamination Prevention – Disposable needle tips eliminate carryover between samples
  • Flow Management – Individually controlled, needle-tipped stopcocks provide flow control at each position
  • Construction – Chemically resistant glass, polyethylene, polypropylene, and Delrin components ensure durability and non-contaminating performance
  • Rack Options – Choice of four collection racks accommodates a range of tube sizes
  • Alignment – Three-point interlocking system secures correct orientation of racks, aligning cartridge positions to corresponding collection vessels
  • Productivity – Designed for rugged, reliable use, increasing throughput and efficiency in routine SPE workflows
