Manifold B 16-Port Freeze-Dryer Manifold (Yamato 212562)

The Yamato 212562 is Manifold B, the 16-port drying manifold for the DC401 benchtop freeze dryer — the highest-capacity manifold in the DC401 accessory line. Where the 8-port Manifold A suits smaller runs, this 16-port manifold doubles the vessels you can lyophilize in parallel off the DC401's single −45 °C cold trap.

Key Specifications

Application Profile

A manifold turns the DC401's refrigerated trap into a multi-station flask dryer: each port carries a valve and glass joint so pre-frozen vessels sublimate under one shared vacuum. The Yamato 212562 Manifold B provides 16 ports on a 60 mm pitch for larger batches of reagents, media, or biological preparations. Order it when throughput matters and bench width allows its W624 mm footprint; step down to the 8-port Manifold A (212561) for compact benches. Manifold B carries valves and joints only — flasks, caps, adapters, and serum bottles ship separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which freeze dryer does the 212562 fit? The Yamato DC401 benchtop freeze dryer; it mounts to the DC401 trap (−45 °C, 0.6 L dehumidifying capacity).

How is Manifold B different from Manifold A? Manifold A (212561) has 8 ports at 80 mm pitch (W304 × D60 × H263 mm); Manifold B (212562) has 16 ports at 60 mm pitch (W624 × D60 × H263 mm).

Does it include flasks or ampules? No — the manifold provides ports, valves, and joints. Dry flasks, caps, adapters, and serum bottles are separate DC401 accessories.

Ordering & Configuration

Confirm at quote your DC401 configuration and which glassware (dry flasks, adapters, serum bottles) you need alongside the manifold.

Warranty: Per Yamato standard terms — confirm coverage at quote. Add to a quote with your DC401 to lock manifold, glassware, and lead time together.

DC401 manifolds: choose Manifold B (212562) for 16-port parallel throughput, or Manifold A (212561) when an 8-port, narrower manifold fits the bench.
