Manifold A, 8-Port, for DC401 Freeze Dryer

The Yamato 212561 is the 8-port Manifold A for the Yamato DC401 benchtop freeze dryer. It mounts to the DC401's cold trap and provides eight ports for attaching flasks, ampules or serum bottles, turning the trap into a parallel manifold dryer for pre-frozen samples.

Key Specifications

Application Profile

A freeze dryer's cold trap condenses water vapor, but the manifold is what determines how you dry. The 8-port Manifold A lets a lab dry up to eight pre-frozen samples in parallel off a single DC401 trap, flasks for bulk lyophilization, or ampules and serum bottles via the matching adapters for sealed-format drying. Load ports a few moments apart so the trap vacuum recovers, and cap unused ports. Because it is a manifold rather than a chamber, it suits individual-vessel drying (each sample on its own port). Pre-freeze samples below their eutectic point before drawing vacuum, and never load flammable material. The DC401 is not explosion-proof.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many samples can this manifold dry at once? Manifold A has 8 ports, so up to eight pre-frozen flasks, ampules or serum bottles can dry in parallel off the DC401 trap.

Which freeze dryer does it fit? The Yamato DC401 benchtop freeze dryer.

What can I attach to the ports? Drying flasks, or ampules and serum bottles using the matching ampule adapter (212572) and serum bottles (30 mL = 212815, plus 10 mL / 50 mL options).

Manifold or flask-mounting chamber: what's the difference? The manifold dries individual vessels on separate ports; the flask-mounting chamber (212560) is a chamber-style option. Choose the manifold for per-vessel, sealed-format drying.

Ordering & Configuration

Confirm at quote your DC401 configuration and which vessel adapters (ampule/serum-bottle) you need alongside the manifold.

Warranty: Per Yamato standard terms.

Positioning: 212561 is the 8-port Manifold A for the DC401. Order it for parallel per-vessel lyophilization; pair it with ampule adapters and serum bottles, or choose the flask-mounting chamber (212560) for chamber-style batch drying.
