<p>An apparatus is provided for simultaneous processing of multiple fluid samples. The apparatus (106) comprises a multiple well plate for holding a plurality of sample reservoirs (202) for simultaneous processing of multiple samples. The wells are configured in the plate in staggered rows. The well plate (100) is dimensioned to be compatible with a vacuum manifold or positive pressure system either as a stand-alone unit or in conjunction with a separate fluid handling system. The apparatus may further comprise a sample collection plate having the same number of wells as the multiple well plate. The wells in the samples collection plate are arranged in the same staggered configuration as the wells in the well plate are assembled in a manifold, the vials in the sample collection plated are aligned directly beneath the sample exists of corresponding sample reservoirs in the well plate.</p> |
