How do I adjust vacuum pressure on the BRANCHIA 1258 Vacuum Manifold during Solid Phase Extraction?

[MacMason]

Adjusting the vacuum pressure on the BRANCHIA 1258 Vacuum Manifold is straightforward. First, confirm the manifold is correctly set up. This includes securely placing tubes in the tube rack, ensuring the cover plate is in place, inserting drainage catheters, and connecting the regulating valves. Next, tighten the regulating valves into the drainage catheters to create a good seal. You can then control the vacuum pressure by manipulating the regulating valves. Turning these valves allows you to adjust the flow rate and, consequently, the vacuum applied to your system. Finally, observe the vacuum gauge to monitor the vacuum level. Adjust the regulating valves as needed to achieve the specific vacuum pressure ideal for your solid phase extraction process, ensuring optimal results with the BRANCHIA 1258 Vacuum Manifold.
