The Thermo Scientific™ FastVac™ Vacuum Manifold is a durable, chemical-resistant system designed for simultaneous nucleic acid purification. Capable of processing up to 20 samples in parallel, it uses vacuum power to replace multiple centrifugation steps, reducing sample handling and improving laboratory efficiency.
Equipped with one-way Luer-Lock stopcocks that are individually controlled, the FastVac enables processing of anywhere from a single column to 20 columns at once. Its extra-large waste reservoir makes it particularly suitable for protocols involving larger sample volumes, including plasmid DNA purification with PureLink™ Fast Low-Endotoxin Kits.
Key Features
- High Throughput – Process 1–20 samples simultaneously with vacuum-driven purification.
- Chemical-Resistant Build – Linear low-density polyethylene body with polycarbonate and polypropylene fittings ensures long-term durability.
- Precise Control – Individually operated one-way Luer-Lock stopcocks allow flexible sample handling.
- Large Waste Reservoir – Convenient for large-volume protocols such as plasmid DNA isolation.
- Universal Compatibility – Compatible with most nucleic acid purification kits (check kit manuals for details).
- Efficient Workflow – Eliminates the need for multiple centrifugation steps and disposal of flow-through tubes.
Applications
- Manual purification of DNA and RNA using vacuum-assisted kits.
- Plasmid DNA isolation, particularly with PureLink™ Fast Low-Endotoxin Kits.
- High-throughput nucleic acid extraction workflows.
- Compatible with a wide range of Thermo Scientific and competitor spin-column kits.
