The Waters Extraction Manifold features:
■ ■
Positions for up to twenty extraction cartridges.
■ ■
Long needle tips which channel the cartridge effluents directly
into the corresponding collection vessels and eliminate immediate
fittings which could be a source of sample loss or cross-
contamination in other manifold designs.
■ ■
Vacuum gauge, control and release valves for monitoring and
adjustment of vacuum level to control flow rate.
■ ■
A choice of four racks to accommodate a variety of collection
vessels.
■ ■
Three-point interlocking system to ensure proper orientation of
racks, keying cartridge position to corresponding collection vessel.
■ ■
Chemically resistant, non-contaminating construction of glass,
polyethylene, polypropylene, and Delrin™ components.
■ ■
Individually controlled, needle-tipped valves (stopcocks), available
as accessories, permit simultaneous processing of samples when
drying of traditional SPE cartridges must be avoided.
