V&P's new 96 CHANNEL MANIFOLD  (VP 177AD) will fill your 96 well microplates with sterile growth media, buffers and other solutions.  Our single manifold delivery system makes plate filling very easy.  If you have been filling your plates with a 12 channel pipettor you will really appreciate the speed and simplicity of the 96 Channel Manifold.  Even labs with robotic work stations use the 96 Channel Manifold because it is easier to set up and 50 times faster than the robot and it is a ready replacement when the robot breaks down.  Robot labs also feel it is more efficient for their robot to do assays than fill plates.  At only a fraction of the cost of a robot, even the smallest labs can afford a 96 Channel Manifold plate filler.

The VP 177AD is very adaptable with a simple Z adjustment to accommodate both deep well and standard 96 well microplates.  Designed for high throughput filling of multiple microplates.   Just place over a plate and dispense the syringe.

The key elements of the VP 177AD dispenser are noted in the photo to the right.  A Luer inlet nipple is used to connect the Inlet Valve to the manifold.  When the syringe plunger is raised liquid is drawn from the source bottle through the Inlet Valve.  Depressing the plunger dispenses the liquid through the manifold. 

Priming the system is facilitated by a Burp Valve located strategically over the high point inside the manifold.

Cleaning the manifold is facilitated using a Quick Disconnect valve attached to a vacuum line.  When connected, the manifold contents are rapidly removed.  This ability greatly facilitates the cleaning process.

The three "Z" adjustment knobs allow the dispense tubes to be set at any height above a standard or deep well microplate.

The plate registration feature provides a simple but sure method of placing the dispense tubes in the wells.

V&P's new 96 CHANNEL MANIFOLD  (VP 177AD-PLUS) (plus a Bottle Top Dispenser) will fill your 96 well microplates (standard and deep well) with sterile growth media, buffers and organic solvents like DMSO.  Our single manifold delivery system makes plate filling very easy.  If you have been filling your plates with a 12 channel pipettor you will really appreciate the speed and simplicity of the 96 Channel Manifold.  Even labs with robotic work stations use the 96 Channel Manifold because it is easier to set up and 50 times faster than the robot and it is a ready replacement when the robot breaks down.  Robot labs also feel it is more efficient for their robot to do assays than fill plates.  At only a fraction of the cost of a robot or an automated pipettor, even the smallest labs can afford a 96 Channel Manifold plate filler.  The difference between the VP 177AD and the VP 177AD-PLUS is the 2 to 10 ml (VP 195D-1) or the 10 ml to 59 ml (VP 195K) bottle top dispenser which are both resistant to organic solvents and capable of precision delivery.  The syringe valve on the VP 177AD is sensitive to organic solvents.  Also the reproducibility of the bottle top dispenser is better than "eye balling" a syringe.  If you already have a bottle top dispenser you may use it with our VP 177AD to make it a  VP 177AD-PLUS.

Ordering information: In order to get a complete system you must order the 2 parts separately - a VP 177AD dispenser and either a VP 195D-1 2-10 ml Bottle top dispenser, or a VP 195K 10-59 ml Bottle Top Dispenser.

VP 195D-1 2 to 10 ml Bottle Top Dispenser, contains PTFE coated ceramic plunger in a glass cylinder protected by dual plastic sleeves.  Standard accessories include Extension dispense tube  (50 cm), inlet tube, tube dispense nozzle stopper (PTFE) dispense nozzle, dispense nozzle cap, dispense nozzle stopper, dispense nozzle holder, wrench, bottle top adapters (25, 33 and 45 mm),  500 ml glass bottle.

VP 195K 10 to 59 ml Bottle Top Dispenser, contains plunger cap, selector assembly, sleeve, glass barrel, body, intake valve, guide bar, intake valve ball, feed tube, outlet valve assembly, delivery jet connector, stop screw, delivery jet, tip cap, vernier ring, nut, T-union, ring, clik stop assembly, guide ring fixing screw, guide bar fixing plate, guide bar fixing screw, vernier finger, guide ring, calibration fixing screw, calibration screw , distance ring,  bottle top adapters (37, 39 and 45 mm).

***NEW*** The 96 Channel Manifold Microplate Filler VP 177AD-1

• Rapid, fills both standard and 96 deep well plates in less than 3 seconds.

• Simple filling of multiple plates by sliding plates under the manifold.

• Adjustable in both Z and Y directions.

• Z axis is spring loaded easy operation.

• Can reposition dispense tubes to side of the wells

• Inexpensive, uses disposable syringes.

• Versatile, fill from 10 ul to 500 ul/well.

• Compact, easy to use.

• Uses 19 gauge tubing for anti-drip control.

• No air bubbles in dispensed liquid.

• Accommodates sterile media and reagent buffers (NO ORGANIC SOLVENTS*)

• Quick clean system.

V&P's new 96 CHANNEL MANIFOLD  (VP 177AD-1) will fill your 96 well microplates with sterile growth media, buffers and other solutions.  The VP 177AD-1 differs from the VP 177AD in that the plates are slid in under the manifold instead of placing the manifold on top on the plate.  Our spring loaded manifold delivery system makes plate filling very easy. 

The VP 177AD-1 is very adaptable with a simple Z adjustment to accommodate both deep well and standard 96 well microplates.  Designed for high throughput filling of multiple microplates.  

The key liquid handling elements of the VP 177AD-1 dispenser are the same as described for the VP 177AD above.  A Luer inlet nipple is used to connect the Inlet Valve to the manifold.  When the syringe plunger is raised liquid is drawn from the source bottle through the Inlet Valve.  Depressing the plunger dispenses the liquid through the manifold. 

The major difference between the two is that the plates are slid under the manifold as opposed to placing the manifold over the plate.

Three "Z" adjustment stops allow the dispense tubes to be set at any height above a standard or deep well microplate.  The manifold is held up by 3 springs and is pushed down to the Z stop prior to dispensing. 

The plate slider/registration feature provides a simple but sure method of placing the dispense tubes in the center of the wells and then reposition the pins to edges of wells.

VP 174AD-PCR

The VP 179A Microplate Positioning Jig provides a very flexible platform for registering microplates to dispensing and aspiration manifolds.  The designation of "J" in the part number of a VP 178 (96) or VP 179 (384)  dispense manifold indicate that it is Jig compatible.  The VP 179A provides the mechanism to adjust the X, Y or Z position of manifold tubes to many different microplates.  Polypropylene microplates are very difficult to make to exact tolerances because the plates shrink as they cool out of the mold.  As each microplate manufacture may produce microplates with slight differences in dimension, it is often desirable to have the ability to precisely align the manifold to the microplate.  This is especially true if you are trying to dispense culture media and not disturb a monolayer on the well bottom or magnetic beads attracted to the sides of the well.
