If you are not using some of the filter plate wells you can cover the corresponding bores in the VAC Lid with
a silicone mat. The air does not flow through the covered bores. The vacuum only affects the wells that are
in use.
Silicone mats are available in different sizes. You can cover 16, 32, 48, 64 or 80 bores with the silicone mat.
The silicone mat has the number of bores it covers punched into it.
 To attach a silicone mat on the VAC Lid, place the silicone mat on the pins of the VAC Lid.
