QIAvac Multiwell

The Elution Microtube adapter of the DirectPrep 96 Miniprep Kit is an adapter needed to securely hold a rack of Elution Microtubes RS in the QIAvac Multiwell vacuum manifold. You can order the Elution Microtube adapter using part number 9236778.

The Microplate adapter is required to secure 96-well microplates in the QIAvac Multiwell vacuum manifold. The Microplate adapter can be ordered using part number 9236850.

No. The DirectPrep 96 plate of the DirectPrep 96 Miniprep Kit cannot be securely positioned in the QIAvac 96 vacuum manifold, and the nozzles may not fit into the correct wells below. Furthermore, adapters are needed to position Elution Microtubes or Microplates in the correct height for elution. If the distance of the "receiving" plate to the nozzles is not optimal, splashing and thus cross contamination can occur. Due to these difficulties with fitting, tightness and potential cross contamination, we do not recommend using the QIAvac 96 with the DirectPrep 96 System.

We recommend to use the QIAvac Mulitwell vacuum manifold in combination with the DirectPrep 96 Miniprep Kit.
