5. Place one to eight Millex Samplicity
Filters over the openings, with the M
logos facing forward. Filters can be
separated from the strip by twisting
them at the perforations.
6. Add samples (0.2–1.7 mL)
to filters.
7. Turn vacuum on at the source,
then rotate system handle
forward. Vacuum will pull
samples through the filters and
into the vials.

the system handle up and wait for
the vacuum pressure to release.
Remove filters, then remove lid to

Operating Tips
■ Vacuum should remain off while system is being assembled.
■ Vacuum pressure of 18–25 inches Hg (610–847 millibar) is
recommended for optimum performance.
■ The waste tray can be used in place of vials when washing or
flushing the filters prior to sample filtration.
■ Doors above empty positions must be closed.
■ Do not turn on vacuum until after samples have been added to
filters.
■ Make sure that all samples have filtered into vials before turning
vacuum off. Some samples may take longer to process.
■ System must be turned off (system handle UP) and pressure
allowed to release through the bleeder valve before removing
filters and lid, or opening doors. Cross-contamination may occur
if filters, lid, or doors are moved before vacuum pressure is fully
released.
