Selecting the Right Manifold Body Material for Your Fluidic Application

Manifolds used in life science fluidics can offer significant value beyond discrete tubing approaches to system design. Manifolds provide a more compact solution with fewer leak points, easier equipment assembly and service, and lower carryover of sample. While a manifold approach to design can offer greater flow path flexibility, careful consideration is necessary in selecting the optimal manifold body materials to address functional requirements, cost, and aesthetics.
