1. A fluid distribution manifold comprising:

  • an insert member having a shape and a first surface and a second surface, wherein the insert member at least partially defines at least one channel in the first surface, wherein the at least one channel is configured for fluid communication between an inlet location and a plurality of outlet locations;

    a manifold base having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the manifold base at least partially defines an indentation in the first surface having the shape and configured to receive the insert member, such that if the insert member is press-fit into the manifold base, the at least one channel forms a substantially closed channel with a surface of the manifold base; and

    wherein at least one of the manifold base and the insert member at least partially defines a fluid inlet from the first surface to the second surface and in fluid communication with the inlet location, and wherein at least one of the manifold base and the insert member at least partially defines a plurality of fluid outlets from the first surface to the second surface, wherein ones of the fluid outlets are in fluid communication with the respective outlet locations.
