Video demonstrates lab vacuum system
For those tired of inflexible and noisy vacuum systems Integra Biosciences has produced a video demonstrating how its Vacusafe Comfort system makes the aspiration of liquids safe, easy and efficient
Coupled with the ergonomically profiled Vacuboy hand operator and a range of adapters the system provides the flexibility to aspirate supernatent liquids from cell culture vessels, centrifuge tubes, 24- and 96-well plates and sample vials.
The latest ultra-low noise pump technology provides infinitely variable vacuum control enabling gentle aspiration from the microlitre range right up to rapid emptying of relatively large containers.
Simply switch on, set the vacuum, and Vacusafe comfort is operational.
As soon as the target vacuum has been reached, the pump switches off automatically.
If the vacuum collapses in use, the pump switches back on automatically.
Waste is collected in a shatterproof four litre polypropylene container that is fitted with an overflow filter that stops liquids from getting into the pump.
All parts of the Vacusafe Comfort and Vacuboy hand operator that may come in contact with waste liquid may be repeatably sterilised at 121C for 20 minutes, guaranteeing maximum safety even with hazardous and critical liquids.
A filter on the back of each Vacusafe comfort ensures that no aspirated material including aerosols containing bacteria or viruses can find their way into the pump housing or out into the surrounding laboratory environment. Request a free brochure from Integra Biosciences ...
