Preparation and Installation of Manifold
Installation and Operation
A. Make sure all control valves are off before use, rotate the control valves
counterclockwise to vertical position for filtration.
B. Change the funnel adaptor to fit the desired funnel or filter holder if necessary.
• Various kind of funnel adaptors are only compatible for Stainless Steel Manifold.
1. No. 8 Stopper Funnel Adaptor
-Compatible with various kinds of filter holders with No. 8 silicone stopper.
2. Rocker SF Funnel Adaptor (Stainless Steel Manifold only)
- Fitting to (left) Rocker SF 100 / 300 / 500 ml funnel and (right) Pall, Sentino® 4870 (100 ml),
4871 (250 ml) plastic funnel.
3. SS316 Adaptor for Millipore Disposable Funnel (Stainless Steel Manifold only)
- Fitting to Millipore, Microfil® disposable plastic funnel 100 / 250 ml.
4. SS316 Adaptor for Sartorius Disposable Funnel (Stainless Steel Manifold only)
- Fitting to Sartorius, Microsart® disposable plastic funnel 16A07.
• How to change the funnel adaptor(s)
1. Loosen the fixing screw on the rear of control valve by L-Type hex key (2 mm).
2. Unscrew the funnel adaptor and change to the desired one.
3. Tighten the fixing screw to prevent new funnel adaptor from rotation.

Preparation and Installation of Manifold (continued)
Vacuum Filtration System Operation
C. Connect installed MultiVac manifold to either vacuum pump or liquid pump for filtration.
• Please ensure to install a vacuum bottle between the manifold and vacuum pump to capture the
waste liquid and prevent liquid from being sucked into the vacuum pump.
• The inlet and outlet direction of MultiVac manifold is interchangeable. Please disassembled inlet and
outlet by hands or tool and change to desired direction.
D. The adjustable vent valve can help drain residual liquid in tube and avoid “Water Hammer”.
• Turn the vent valve counterclockwise to drain the remaining liquid out if necessary.
A. Connect the outlet of installed manifold to inlet (IN) of Alligator 200 liquid pump together with silicone
tube as shown below.
• The tube length between manifold and liquid pump should be as short as possible.
• The length of silicone tube can be cut as your needed.
B. Connect a long tube to outlet (OUT) of Alligator 200 and put the other side of tube into sink or a
container to drain and collect the waste liquid.
C. After sample preparation, install the appropriate membrane in filter holder or funnel.
D. Switch on the pump and pour the sample liquid into the funnel and open the control valve to “vertical”
position to start filtration.
E. After finishing filtration, close the control valve and retrieval the membrane.
F. SF stainless steel funnel can be fast flame-sterilized by Dragon 100 torch burner or autoclaved before
proceeding next filtration.
* Warning:
(1) Do not bend silicone tube or squeeze it with heavy objects to avoid poor drainage.
(2) Do not pump dirty or impure solution before ltration to avoid clogging or damaging.

I. With Alligator 200 Diaphragm Liquid Pump

A. Connect the installed manifold, vacuum bottle and Rocker 400 vacuum pump with 2 silicone tubes as
shown above.
B. After sample preparation, install the appropriate membrane in filter holder or funnel.
C. Switch on the pump and pour the sample liquid into the funnel and open the control valve to “vertical”
position to start filtration.
D. After finishing filtration, close the control valve and retrieval the membrane.
E. SF stainless steel funnel can be fast flame-sterilized by Dragon 100 torch burner or autoclaved before
proceeding next filtration.
1. The pump is not autoclavable. Please clean the surface by pure water or 75% ethanol.
2. While doing filtration with Alligator 200 liquid pump, please pump the pure water to clean the tubing
after every use to prevent any dirty is left over. Keep pumping the air for at least 2 minutes to eliminate
the liquid.
3. While doing filtration with Rocker vacuum pump, please remove the liquid in the moisture trap and
keep pumping the air for at least 2 minutes to withdraw the residual steam.
• Please refer to manual of Rocker Series Vacuum Pump to see how to reset the ProteTM protection
device and replace cartridge.
4. MultiVac manifold, filter holder and vacuum bottle are autoclavable (121°C, 1 bar, 20 min). Please make
sure to rinse manifold with pure water and keep all control valves 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.
5. Funnels, support base and membrane support of stainless steel manifold are made of SS316 which can
be fast sterilized by flame or autoclaved.
6. Valve plate(s), O-ring(s), silicone tube(s), muffler and diaphragm are consumables, it is recommended
to replace it on a yearly basis or as needed to ensure good operation.
* Warning: Please ensure the liquid level of moisture trap and vacuum bottle do not exceed safety level.
Failure to comply could result in serious damage to the pump and void the warranty. If it occurs, please
contact the distributor immediately for service.
