V&P produces a wide variety of wands and manifolds to aspirate or dispense sterile media, assay buffers and other liquids into standard or deep well microplates. We also make manifolds to evaporate liquids. The wands and manifolds are constructed of rugged clear polycarbonate* or polypropylene (black or white) and stainless steel tubes. The single bore wands are autoclaveable and come with either tapered or female luer ends.
The polycarbonate* manifolds are not autoclaveable and have female luer connectors. We also offer polypropylene manifolds (black) which are autoclaveable and resistant to organic solvents like DMSO. The manifolds have been developed for 24, 48, 96 and 384 well microplates as well for Gen-Probe assay plates and vials. It is very easy to attach these manifolds to an aspiration line by simply cutting off the finger tangs of a 1 to 3 ml plastic syringe then slipping your vacuum line over the syringe barrel and connecting the female Luer on the manifold to the syringe nozzle. We also make custom manifolds for aspirating deep well plates and micro-centrifuge tubes.

Another solution is to use Male Luer Lok fittings to connect to the hose system.
We are now providing male Luer Lok fittings with 3 different sized hose barb connectors (5/32" - 4 mm, 3/16" - 4.75 mm and 1/4" - 6.25 mm) at no extra charge with each Luer Lok equipped manifold and wand we sell. We do everything we can to make it easy for our customers.
