What is a Manifold Assembly?
Manifold assemblies create a fluid distribution system that streamlines your fluidic system to control all reagents—inlet ports to outlet ports—to create a clean and organized flow path. Fluidic components can be integrated into a manifold assembly, which reduces plumbing complexity, minimizes the risk of leak points, and saves time for installation and servicing.
Key Benefits of a Manifold Assembly
- Consistent fluidic performance in every instrument, every time
- Enhanced system reliability
- Reduced complexity and the number of leak points
- Simplified installation and servicing
- Simplified reagent flow paths by integrating multiple fluidic components into a unified fluidic system
- Completely customizable
Complete Customization with Integrated Manifold Assemblies
At IDEX Health & Science, we don’t just build components, we create innovative solutions that maximize the performance of your entire fluidic pathway.
- Manifolds: Diffusion Bonded and Machined
- Rotary Shear Valves

- Sensors: Pressure, temperature, conductivity
- Connections: Probes, tubing, and fittings
- Pumps
Manifold Valve Assembly
A manifold valve assembly is used for fluid management in your instrument platform. Rather than the valve being connected by tubing and fittings, the valve is mounted directly onto a PEEK, acrylic, or Ultem manifold. Multiple valves can be mounted onto a single manifold, eliminating excess lengths of tubing and negating the need for overfilling reagent lines.

Computational Fluid Dynamics
Using computational fluid dynamic modeling, IDEX Health & Science offers instrument developers an option to analyze how their fluidics will operate before committing to expensive prototypes. Developers in this space can characterize the functionality of their hardware in weeks instead of months in the prototyping feedback loop. Start your project on the right foot with fluidic simulation and modeling.
