A. Attention
Both Aluminum and Stainless Steel Multi-Branch Manifold
1. MultiVac manifold can be connected with vacuum pump or liquid pump.
2. When connect with a vacuum pump, it is always recommended to install a
vacuum bottle between the manifold and vacuum pump to prevent liquid
from flowing into the vacuum pump.
3. The outlet direction of the of MultiVac manifold is interchangeable. The outlet
can be disassembled by hand or tool to change into desired direction.
Stainless Steel Multi-Branch Manifold ONLY
4. The adjustable vent valve can avoid “Water Hammer” and help drain
residual liquid in the tube.
5. Adjust the vent valve until smooth if water hammer effect happens. Turn the
vent valve counterclockwise to draw out the remaining liquid after filtration if
necessary.

B. Manifold Preparation and Installation
1. Make sure all valves are off before use, rotate the valves
counterclockwise to vertical position for filtration.
2. Stainless Steel Multi-Branch Manifold can easily change the funnel adaptor
to fit desired funnel.
2.1 Loosen the fixing screw with L-Type hex key (2 mm) to change the funnel
adaptor and tighten the screw to prevent new funnel adaptor from rotation.

C. Vacuum Filtration System Installation and Operation
I. Vacuum Filtration System (with Rocker 400 Vacuum Pump)
A. Connect the installed manifold, vacuum bottle and Rocker 400 vacuum
pump with 2 silicone tubes as shown below.
B. Install the membrane in filter holder or funnel as B-3 step.
C. Turn on the pump and pour the sample liquid into the funnel and turn
the valve to “vertical” position to start filtration.
D. After finishing filtration, turn the valve to “off” position and retrieval
the membrane.
E. SF funnel can be fast flame-sterilized by Dragon 100 torch burner or
autoclaved before proceeding next filtration.

II. Vacuum Filtration System (with Alligator 200 Diaphragm Liquid Pump)
A. Connect the installed manifold and inlet (IN) of Alligator 200 liquid
pump together with silicone tube as shown below.
B. Connect the long silicone tube to outlet (OUT) of Alligator 200 liquid
pump and put another side of silicone tube into sink or container to
drain or collect the waste liquid.
C. Install the membrane in filter holder or funnel as B-3 step.
D. Turn on the pump and pour the sample liquid into the funnel and turn
the valve to “vertical” position to start filtration.
E. After finishing filtration, turn the valve to “off” position and retrieval
the membrane.
F. SF funnel can be fast flame-sterilized by Dragon 100 torch burner or
autoclaved before proceeding next filtration.
The length of silicone tube can be cut as your needed.

1. Please suck in pure water to clean the tubing after every use and keep
pumping air for at least 3 min to drain out the residual liquid.
2. Pump is not autoclavable, please clean the surface with pure water or 75%
ethanol.
3. MultiVac manifold, filter holder and vacuum bottle are autoclavable (121°C, 1
bar, 20 min). Please keep all control valves, knobs and vent valve at “OPEN”
position to make a complete sterilization. You can also clean the surface of
manifold with pure water or 75% ethanol.
4. Funnels, adaptors, and membrane supports which are made of SS316 can be
fast sterilized by flame or autoclaved (121°C, 1 bar, 20 min).
5. O-ring(s) and silicone tube(s) are consumables, it is recommended to replace
it on a yearly basis or as needed to ensure good operation.

Problem Reason and Solution
Instrument
fails to start
Loose plug Reconnect plug to power supply.
Switch is broken Contact distributor for assistance.
Poor vacuum
Outlet is blocked Clean or stretch the outlet tube.
Funnel adaptor O-ring is broken Replace the O-ring
Inner tube leakage Contact distributor for assistance.
Internal wiring loose Contact distributor for assistance.
Low filtration speed
Connection between funnel and funnel adaptor is not
sealed Reconnect to ensure they’re tightly sealed.
Wrong membrane Change a proper one.
Membrane is blocked Replace a new membrane.
Funnel adaptor O-ring is broken Replace the O-ring
Silicone tube is bent too much Replace silicone tube
Internal wiring loose Contact distributor for assistance.
