Provided herein is a clarification/binding device for the isolation of at least one target molecule from a sample. The clarification/binding device can comprise an clarification column and a binding column. The clarification column can be configured to receive the sample. Further, the clarification column can comprise a filter configured to filter at least one non-target molecule from the sample. The binding column can be configured to receive the filtered sample from the clarification column. The binding column can comprise a binding material for binding at least one target molecule. The clarification/binding device can be configured to filter the sample and bind at least one target molecule under negative pressure. Further provided herein is an apparatus for the isolation of a target molecule from a sample. The apparatus can comprise a top plate and a vacuum manifold comprising a first chamber and a second chamber. The top plate can be configured to be used with one or both of the first vacuum chamber and the second chamber of the vacuum manifold. Further provided herein are methods of use of the clarification/binding device and the vacuum apparatus and kits comprising the clarification/binding device and vacuum apparatus.
