SPE Positive Pressure Manifold

Athena Instruments presents the SPE Positive Pressure Manifold, a robust, precision-engineered system designed for uniform, contamination-free solid-phase extraction (SPE) in regulated laboratory environments. Available in 48, 96, and 144-position configurations, this manifold ensures consistent flow control, reliable analyte recovery, and seamless integration with Athena’s Nitrogen Evaporators—streamlining the entire extraction-to-evaporation workflow. Built with stainless steel cabinet fabrication and a solvent-resistant metal frame, the system offers dual-pressure control, quick-change cartridge support, and rugged durability for daily, high-volume use. Ideal for bioanalytical, pharmaceutical, food safety, forensic, clinical, and environmental testing laboratories, it is rigorously tes...
