Construction & operating principle
A filtration manifold connects several filter positions to a common vacuum source, with valves controlling each position. It supports parallel testing, but individual seals, membrane resistance and open valves affect the actual pressure difference. The receiver, protective devices and tubing are part of the system. When several positions operate together, the vacuum source must support their combined demand.
Typical uses
- Parallel membrane filtration of water samples
- Batch microbiological examination
- Comparative tests of membranes or samples

| Selection factor | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Position count | Match daily workload and handling rhythm; more positions do not resolve highly fouling samples. |
| Filter heads | Disposable cups and reusable membrane holders need different interfaces and cleaning workflows. |
| Vacuum arrangement | Size the source and receiver for concurrent loading and include appropriate backflow protection. |

- 01
Assembly
Check each seal and valve, closing unused routes that would leak air.
- 02
Parallel operation
Track sample identity by position and prevent overflow or reverse flow.
- 03
Maintenance
Clean sample-contact components using procedures compatible with seals as well as the frame.
Product questions
Are unequal flow rates necessarily a fault?
Different sample loads or membrane resistance can explain them; compare positions under identical conditions.
Does shared vacuum mix the samples?
Upstream paths should remain separate, but reverse flow, overflow and handling errors still require control.
