OverviewPositive pressure manifold delivering consistent, uniform positive pressure to move low- and high-viscosity liquids in 96-well plates and in 1, 3 and 6 mL cartridge formats. Two format variants available for cartridge and plate processing.
Key features- Supports gas pressures up to 100 psi (6.9 bar) for increased pressure and force with viscous samples.
- Independent pressure control per port to improve reproducibility of analyte recoveries.
- Allows partially populated racks to be processed without loss of extraction efficiency.
- Two variants: PRESSURE+ 48 for cartridge processing and PRESSURE+ 96 for well-plate processing.
- Compatible with all standard 96-well plate formats and with 1‑ and 2 mL modular array wells without additional gaskets.
Applications / Use cases- Cartridge processing: runs 1 to 48 cartridges (up to 6 mL) with independent port pressure control.
- High-throughput well-plate processing: compatible with 96-well formats for parallel sample preparation.
- Handles both low- and high-viscosity liquids for extraction and clean-up workflows in analytical laboratories.
