For any scientist or researcher, the ability to effectively and efficiently carry out sample preparation is key to ensuring accurate and reliable analytical results. In analytical chemistry, Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) is a critical technique used to separate, purify and concentrate compounds from a mixture for analysis. A crucial component in SPE is the vacuum manifold/'>manifold, which is used to hold and control the flow of liquid through the SPE tubes. MilliporeSigma has developed a disposable liner vacuum manifold called “SupelcoVisiprep SPE Vacuum Manifold” which promises to provide users with a more efficient and precise method of controlling flow. In this blog, we will explore the features and benefits of the SupelcoVisiprep SPE Vacuum Manifold, and also discuss the availability of compatible replacement caps for 2 mm vials in GC/GCMS.
Features of the SupelcoVisiprep SPE Vacuum Manifold
Uniquely, the SupelcoVisiprep SPE Vacuum Manifold contains a patented valve system that allows for precise flow control through each SPE tube via rotating. This system allows for effective, reproducible and error-free liquid flow and distribution, ensuring accurate, reliable and statistically significant analytical data. This technology differentiates the SupelcoVisiprep SPE Vacuum Manifold from other vacuum manifolds that use conventional stop valves to control the flow.
The SupelcoVisiprep SPE Vacuum Manifold has a disposable liner, which makes it easy to clean and maintain hygiene standards. This disposable feature also helps to eliminate cross-contamination, thereby increasing analytical efficiency.
The manifold has a compact design, which makes it easy to handle and use while also helping to save valuable laboratory space. The device is compatible with all standard SPE tubes and has a capacity of 12 tubes.
Benefits of the SupelcoVisiprep SPE Vacuum Manifold
This device provides users with a more accurate, precise and efficient method of carrying out sample preparation via SPE. The control valve system allows for reproducible and error-free liquid flow, which ensures that analyses are accurate and statistically significant. The ability to have a disposable liner not only saves time but also eliminates the need for time-consuming cleaning and sterilizing.
The compact design makes it easier to use, handle and store, making it ideal for laboratories with limited space. The compatibility with standard SPE tubes means that users do not have to purchase additional accessories or parts to use the device, thus saving money.
Availability of Replacement Caps for 2 mm Vials in GC/GCMS
For users of the SupelcoVisiprep SPE Vacuum Manifold who require replacement caps for 2 mm vials in GC/GCMS, there are several options to choose from. One option is to purchase compatible replacement caps from the manufacturer or one of their accredited suppliers. This ensures that the replacement caps are specifically designed to fit the manifold and meet the intended functionality requirements.
Another option is to purchase compatible replacement caps from a third party that specializes in manufacturing and supplying laboratory consumables. However, when purchasing from third-party suppliers, extra caution should be taken to ensure that the compatibility of the replacement caps with the SupelcoVisiprep SPE Vacuum Manifold is confirmed before making a purchase.
Conclusion
The SupelcoVisiprep SPE Vacuum Manifold is a valuable tool for sample preparation via SPE. Its patented control valve system ensures accurate and precise liquid flow, thereby increasing the accuracy and reproducibility of analytical data. The compact design and disposable liner make it easy to use and clean, while its compatibility with standard SPE tubes also saves the user money. When purchasing compatible replacement caps for the manifold, users should only purchase from credible sources and confirm compatibility before making a purchase.
