A manifold adaptor plate useful as a gasket having liquid pathways which
permit passing of a filtrate, a feed and a retentate wherein admixture of
the filtrate with the feed or the retentate is prevented is provided and
is formed of an elastomeric layer, a rigid intermediate layer and a
polymer layer. The elastomeric layer functions as a gasket and is bonded
to the polymeric layer through the liquid pathways of the intermediate
plate. An elastomer layer may be formed on both layers as well and
optionally a second polymer layer between the intermediate layer and the
second elastomer layer may also be used.
