Aspirating liquid from microplates is an important aspect of processing many different assay protocols. V&P Scientific has worked with many different scientists and many different companies to make over 70 aspiration and dispensing manifolds for nearly every conceivable application. The following list highlights the diversity of V&P’s collection.

Different Needle Center to Center Spacing for Microplates & Tube Racks

2.25 mm, 4.5 mm, 9 mm, 13.4 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm, 26 mm, 39 mm

Different Number of Needles

3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 384

Different Lengths of Needles

7 mm, 11 mm, 12.6 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm, 26 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, 35 mm, 42 mm, 45 mm,

49 mm, 63.5 mm, 65 mm. Plus, our 6, 8 and 12 channel adjustible aluminum slides (VP 182S-1, VP 180S and VP 187S)

allow you to determine custom exposed needle lengths.

The VP 177A-1 is a side loading manifold with springs that hold the 96 tube manifold up while the microplate is slid in from the side. Once in place, the manifold is pressed down by hand and tubes aspirate the liquid from the microplate. The bottom position of the tubes is determined by the 3 stop adjustment bolts. The adjustment on these bolts can be precisely determined for critical applications such as setting the distance above a pellet. If you are aspirating above a pellet this is the system for you. The flexibility of setting the lower Z position is very useful. This system is much faster and easier (one hand operation) to operate. If you have many plates to aspirate this is the system of choice.

Applications of V&P Scientific’s Aspiration Manifolds

Removal or the 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 developing 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.

The following examples show how two of our customers used our VP 177A-1 (96 needle aspiration manifold) to solve their aspiration need.

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. Click here to see the 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. Click here to see the results of their study.
