Description

General description

SPE is a form of chromatography, and, as with other chromatographic techniques, control of flow rate is critical for maintaining reproducible extractions. Unlike other vacuum manifolds, the Visiprep system contains a patented valve system that allows for precise flow control through each SPE tube via rotating, independent, screw-type valves situated in each port within the manifold cover. Visiprep vacuum manifolds allow you to process up to 12 (12-port version) or 24 (24-port version) SPE samples simultaneously. Spacing between ports are slightly smaller on the 24-port versions than the 12-port versions so consideration of tube sizes is recommended.

Application

Visiprep^™ SPE Vacuum Manifold was used to perform solid phase extraction, to separate polyphenols from grapes, in order to determine the polyphenol content using LC-MS analysis. It was also used for concentration and purification of solvent extracts from surface water and sewage water sediments. Furthermore it was used to extract and determine, estrone in water using solid-phase extraction-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (SPE-ELISA).

Features and Benefits

• Patented screw-type valves within each SPE port for precise flow control
• Glass basin will not dissolve, fog, or discolor when exposed to solvents
• Legs on cover allow user to easily rest cover on work surface when removed from the manifold
• Screw-type solvent-resistant vacuum bleed gauge and valve offer better sealing and vacuum control. Valve takes 1/4″ vacuum tubing.
• PP collection vessel rack accommodates autosampler vials; small scintillation vials (22.75 mm O.D. recommended); 10 and 16 mm test tubes; and 1, 2, 5, and 10 mL volumetric flasks. An optional plate for 20 mL scintillation vials is available for 12-port models.
