Manifold Filtration

The vacuum filtration manifold. offers 3-port and 6-port options in stainless steel or aluminum (MOC), designed for compatibility with a wide range of filter funnels either made of SS, Glass or PSF with the help of adaptable connectors. Its user-focused features, such as individual valve switches and a stable, durable base, make it an ideal tool for efficient and versatile vacuum filtration across laboratory applications.

Manifold Filtration – FAQs:

Q1. What is Manifold Filtration in laboratories?
Manifold filtration is a laboratory technique that uses a multi-branch filtration system (manifold) to filter multiple samples at the same time. It is widely used in microbiology, pharmaceuticals, water testing, and chemical analysis for efficient and high-throughput filtration.


Q2. What is a Filtration Manifold?
A filtration manifold is a laboratory apparatus with multiple filtration units connected to a vacuum source. It allows simultaneous filtration of several samples using membrane filters, saving time and ensuring consistent results.


Q3. What are the uses of Manifold Filtration?
Manifold filtration is commonly used for:

  • Microbiological analysis (colony counting, microbial detection)

  • Water and beverage testing

  • Pharmaceutical quality control

  • Environmental and chemical sample filtration

  • Sterility testing


Q4. What are the components of a Manifold Filtration System?
A typical manifold filtration assembly includes:

  • Stainless steel or glass manifold base

  • Filter holders or funnels (usually 3, 6, or 12 branches)

  • Vacuum pump or suction source

  • Membrane filters (0.22 µm, 0.45 µm, etc.)

  • Clamps and connectors


Q5. What are the advantages of Manifold Filtration?

  • Simultaneous filtration of multiple samples

  • Time-saving and efficient compared to single filter units

  • Consistent and reproducible results

  • Suitable for high-throughput labs


Q6. What materials are Filtration Manifolds made from?

  • Stainless Steel – durable, corrosion-resistant, long-lasting

  • Glass (Borosilicate) – chemically resistant, transparent for visibility

  • Plastic (Polycarbonate / PTFE) – lightweight, chemical-resistant, cost-effective


Q7. How do you clean and maintain a Filtration Manifold?

  • Rinse immediately after use with distilled water

  • Sterilize components when used for microbiological testing

  • Avoid strong acids or bases that can corrode the surface

  • Inspect vacuum seals and connectors regularly


Q8. Where to buy high-quality Manifold Filtration Systems in India?
You can buy 3-branch, 6-branch, and 12-branch manifold filtration assemblies from trusted manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters in India. For premium quality laboratory filtration manifolds, Simson Chemtech is a leading manufacturer and supplier of manifold filtration systems in India.
