PRESSURE+ Positive Pressure Manifold
Biotage® PRESSURE+ manifolds deliver positive pressure, parallel processing for 96 well plates, 1 mL 3 mL and 6 mL column formats. The systems utilize a consistent, uniform flow of positive pressure to move both low and high viscosity liquids through SPE plates and columns.
Passage of solutions through 96-well filter plates or 96-well solid-phase extraction columns
This manifold has proven to be an improved alternative to the classical vacuum manifold, especially when it comes to hard to handle samples such as thick suspensions and viscous samples. Unlike the classical vacuum manifold, the positive pressure can be regulated. Additionally, applying positive pressure from the top appears to reduce the occurrence of clogging, especially when utilizing smaller pore-size filter membranes. Finally, again, in contrast with the vacuum manifold, it allows to stack more than one filtration/SPE plate allowing the process to proceed continuously saving the operator valuable hands-on time.

If you want to do reproducible SPE extraction this is the best choice you can choose. It works only with gas pressure (preferred nitrogen) and without electricity! (That’s something rare nowadays!!). So it is very easy to use and the positive pressure is more recommended for SPE than vacuum. In addition, it is less noisy and more comfortable for the technicians. The same system with a liquid handling would be perfect!
