Accessories for Cartridges

Polycarbonate Vacuum Box:

This 24 hole vacuum box has a high density polyethylene (HDPE) top for acid compatibility and a clear plastic bottom for visibility of collection tubes. Overall dimensions are 57 cm (long) x 14.5 cm (deep) x 18 cm (high.) The box comes complete with a screw in vacuum gauge, a rack insert which holds twenty-four 50cc centrifuge tubes, a starter package of yellow outer and white inner tips along with manifold plugs for sealing off unused holes.

The HDPE top can be removed and set on the bench top, supported by 2.5 cm legs, without disturbing cartridges and tips in use.

10 ml and 20 ml Cartridge Reservoirs

Similar to syringe barrels, these reservoirs attach to the top of Eichrom's pre-packed cartridges with a Luer-Lock mechanism. Graduations allow for easier monitoring of flow rates when using the vacuum box. Available in packages of 25.

10 ml Reservoir part number: AC-25-RV10
20 ml Reservoir part number: AC-25-RV20

White Inner and Yellow Outer Tips

These disposable tips are used to connect the cartridge(s) used to the vacuum box. The white inner tip should be replaced and discarded between rinse and elution steps to avoid cross contamination of different fractions. Both kinds of tips are available in packages of 1000.

White Inner tips part number: AC-1000-IT
Yellow Outer tips part number: AC-1000-OT

Also shown in this photograph are yellow manifold plugs for sealing off unused holes in the vacuum box. These are supplied free of charge with the purchase of a vacuum box.
