Agilent PPM-96 Positive Pressure Manifold

The Agilent PPM-96 Positive Pressure Manifold delivers fast, reproducible processing for up to 96 samples at once, making it an excellent solution for high-throughput laboratories. Designed for applications such as solid phase extraction (SPE), supported liquid extraction (SLE), and protein precipitation, the PPM-96 ensures consistency by using restricted-flow ports that maintain uniform gas flow across all wells – even when channels are unused or run dry. With pressures of up to 100 psi, it efficiently handles viscous samples that challenge traditional vacuum systems.

Compatible with 96-well plates, Agilent VersaPlate formats, and 1 mL tabless cartridges (with holder), the PPM-96 combines versatility with ease of use. Its self-adjusting manifold automatically aligns 96-well plates without the need for additional spacers. The uniform pressure delivery minimises variability, shortens processing times, and increases reliability across all samples. The PPM-96 is a valuable addition to any laboratory carrying out high-throughput sample preparation.

Features
