Porvair Microlute® Manual Vacuum Manifold

The Porvair Microlute® Manual Vacuum Manifold is designed to speed up sample preparation by applying vacuum to draw liquid through a filter or solid phase extraction (SPE) plate into either a collection plate or waste tray. This controlled vacuum process ensures faster throughput and consistent performance across all wells, making it a reliable choice for laboratories performing sample preparation with well plates.

Constructed from clear acrylic and robust acetal polymer, the manifold combines durability with practical visibility. The transparent top plate allows direct observation of the chamber, enabling users to monitor extraction progress with ease. This design supports reproducibility, efficiency and confidence in results for a wide range of sample processing workflows.
