Applications of V&P Scientific’s Aspiration Manifold
The removal or aspiration of liquid from microplates, tubes, or vials is an important aspect of processing many different assay protocols. V&P Scientific has worked closely with many scientists to develop new aspiration applications for over 40 years. We have solved many problems and feel that one of our 70 different aspiration manifolds may be the solution for your new protocol.
Examples
The following examples show how two of our customers used our VP 177A-1 (96 stainless steel tube aspiration manifold) to solve their aspiration needs.
The University of California, Riverside in Collaboration with USAID, presented a poster at Plant & Animal Genome 2015. The following V&P Scientific products were used for their research on DNA isolation of cowpea samples: VP 177A-1, VP 177AD-1, VP 177A-1B, VP 771MDWM-1,
Their experimental kit was able to process 96 samples in 6 hours, whereas a standard kit has a run time of approximately 3 hours for only 24 samples. The experimental magnetic bead kit also yielded an 18% decrease in cost compared to the Standard Kit. See Poster.
Another of our customers from the University of Alberta compared the VP 177A-1 aspirator to a Flick washing system and found the VP 177A-1 aspirator to be more sensitive and more reproducible. They also found that the VP 177A-1 is less likely to create potentially biohazardous aerosols. See the results of their study.
If you have a unique application, let us know and we will make a custom aspiration manifold for you.
