Overview
Overview
Biotage® VacMaster™ Disk extraction unit is a single port vacuum
manifold that applies vacuum to the outlet of a solid phase
extraction disk to assist in the extraction of aqueous or viscous
samples. Multiple units can be connected to the same vacuum
source to increase sample throughput.
VacMaster Disk is ideal for environmental SPE applications and
allows for the use of both 47 mm and 90 mm disks as well as
the DryDisk
the disposable Atlantic
in conjunction with a vacuum pump and three different waste
containers to allow for segregation of waste.
®
Assembly for 65 mm separation membranes and
