96 Channel Aspiration Manifold on 9 mm Centers and 42 mm Long for Microplates and VP 179A

96 Deep Well Plate Aspirator with 42mm long, 19 gauge tubes, mounts to VP 179A Plate Registration Jig

One of our customers asked us to make an aspiration manifold that could remove liquid from both deep well and standard well microplates. The customer also was concerned that the tubes not touch the bottom of the wells. Our solution was to modify a VP 178A by putting shoulder bolts on it so it can adapt to the VP 179A Jig. This new aspiration manifold is the VP 178J.

These manifolds are resistant to acids, bases and organic solvents as they are made with a rugged polypropylene body and 19 gauge stainless steel tubing. The shoulder bolts register the manifold to the Jig and the Jig can be adjusted in all 3 axis X, Y, and Z for perfect positioning of the tubes in the wells. The alignment of the plates with the tubes is a snap. Once the tubes are in the wells they can be moved to the side of the wells for more complete aspiration.

This manifold can also be sterilized by autoclave and used to aspirate sterile media.
