QIAvac Vacuum Manifolds

QIAvac vacuum manifolds are designed for vacuum-driven processing of 96-well plates, 8-well strips, and spin columns.

Features and benefits

Reduced sample handling and accelerated processing
Parallel sample processing using QIAGEN multiwell strips or plates, or spin columns
Easy cleaning of internal components by simply separating top plate and base

Principle

QIAvac manifolds facilitate sample handling by providing a convenient modular manifold system for processing QIAGEN multiwell modules or spin columns. They reduce hands-on preparation time and increase throughput by eliminating time-consuming pipetting, centrifugation, and transfer steps. QIAvac 6S and QIAvac 96 are designed to permit direct elution into collection microtubes or plates.

For maintenance of QIAvac manifolds, please refer to the handling guidelines provided in the accompanying handbook. Recommended vacuum pressures for QIAGEN procedures are provided in the individual product handbooks.
