FAQ

QuestionAnswer
What plates are compatible with the MultiScreen manifold?In general, all manufacturers' plates fit the vacuum manifold.
I’m not getting good vacuum while using the MultiScreen vacuum manifold, what can I do?Press down on the MultiScreen plate to form a good seal with the manifold. (This is normal for the low vacuum used). Make sure all wells of the filter plate are either “wet” or sealed with adhesive tape. Check all tubing connections to make sure they are tight. See the MultiScreen Vacuum manifold operators guide for more detailed troubleshooting information.
What plates can be used with the MultiScreen HTS manifold (Catalogue number MSVMHTS00)?All MultiScreen HTS platform filter plates, Solvinert and Solvinert Deep Well plates can be used with the HTS manifold.
Can the classic MultiScreen plates be run on the HTS manifold?Only in filter to waste mode. The HTS plates should be used with the HTS manifold for the most benefit.
Can the MultiScreen HTS manifold be used with Millipore's genomics application plates (plamid prep, pcr cleanup, sequence reaction clean up)?Filter to waste modes work, but not filtrate collection, so using the clearing plate with the plamid plate will not work. Millipore's genomics plates have not been validated on the HTS manifold. Please contact technical service for more information at 1-800-645-5476.
If using the MultiScreen HTS manifold, when do I have to use the droplet trap array?The droplet trap array should be used when filtering a 384 well plate to waste.
If the deep well collar sold with the MultiScreen HTS manifold or is it sold seperately?The deep well collar is sold as an accessory to the MultiScreen HTS manifold; it does not come with the manifold. The catalogue number is MSVMHTS0D.
When using the MultiScreen HTS manifold, can I filter to waste when using a shallow well plate?Yes. The classic grid should be in place for removeable underdrain HTS plates or the collar gasket frame should be in place for Solvinert plates.
When using the MultiScreen HTS vacuum manifold, can I filter to waste when using a deep well plate?Yes. The deep well plate should be placed on top of the manifold collar with the clear gasket support installed.
When using the MultiScreen HTS manifold, how can I test to see if the manifold is properly installed and/or that I have enough vacuum for my application?The easiest way to test the manifold and/or set vacuum pressures is to put the collar on the base with nothing inside and place a collection (plastic bottom) plate on the top. You can now adjust the vacuum to the desired level.
